Flash vacuum pyrolysis of 1,2‐dialkoxybenzenes 1a‐c leads to the liberation of alkanes from the interacting side chains. A rearrangement of the skeleton yields the o ‐hydroxy carbonyl compounds 2 and 4 . The generation of phenol 3 can be rationalized by a decarbonylation. The latter reaction is the sole process which can be observed for the bicyclic starting compound 9 .
