3,4-Diydroxy benzaldehyde

chemwizard - 14-12-2006 at 03:10

Can anyone please highlight the process for synthesis of 3,4-Dihydroxybenzaldehyde (Protocatechualdehyde)? And especially if the process involves the bromination of 4-Hydroxybenzaldehyde and then the next step leading to the product. I am through with the bromination but couldnt substiture the bromo group with hydroxy group.

Please help at earliest.
With many warm regards
