1-(3,4-dihydroxy-5-methoxy-phenyl)ethanone

Cyclic voltammetry showed the electrochemical oxidation of 3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxyacetophenone gave 3,4-di-hydroxy-5-methoxyacetophenone as the major product by a one electron oxidation process (20% isolated yield), but 30–40% estimated by thin layer chromatography.
