Mineral acids in hot pressurized water are able to dealkylate aromatic biorefinery products, as described by B. U. W. Maes et al. in their Communication on page 3063. Ferulic acid obtained from rice bran, an agro‐industry waste product, can be transformed into bio‐catechol. Petrochemical catechol finds applications in the production of agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, flavors, fragrances, and polymers, thereby serving modern society. Cover design by Joris Snaet.
