1-carboxy-2-unsubstituted Aromatic → Catechol derivative<br><br>Comments:<br>This rule handles the dioxygenation of 1-carboxyl-2-unsubstituted aromatics (bt0368) and subsequent oxidation to form the catechol derivative (bt0056).This rule is restricted from acting on phthalate, cumate and 1-naphthoate derivatives. All fused aromatic ring products with hydroxyls at 2,3 position are excluded. All pyridines with N para to carboxylate have been excluded. This rule acts on both cis and trans-dihydrodiol intermediates.
