The efficient Pd-catalyzed double-fold C-H oxygenation of arenes into resorcinols using the newly developed 2-pyrimidyldiisopropylsilyl (PyrDipSi) directing group is described. Its use allows for the sequential introduction of OAc and OPiv groups in a one-pot manner to produce orthogonally protected

Graphitized carbons with mesoporous and macroporous structures were synthesized by a facile template-catalysis procedure using resorcinol and formaldehyde as carbon precursors and particulate hydrated metal oxides as both template and catalyst precursors. The materials were used as novel adsorbents for
