Abstract
Catechol‐U‐^14^C and hydroquinone‐U‐^14^C were prepared from phenol‐U‐^14^C by mononitration followed by chromatographic separation of o‐ and p‐nitrophenol‐U‐^14^C. The nitrophenols were separately hydrogenated, and the resulting aminophenols were converted by diazotization followed by hydrolysis to the title diols. Phenol‐U‐^14^C was synthesized efficiently from benzene by nitration, reduction, diazotization and hydrolysis. A similar series of reactions beginning with benzene‐U‐^13^C gave phenol, catechol and hydroquinone containing more than 88% total carbon‐13.
