An original one pot/two steps scalable catalytic reaction was developed for the synthesis of hemimellitic acid from biobased 3‐methylphtalic anhydride. This novel approach, involving an anhydride function as a masked 1,2‐dicarboxylic acid moiety, allowed circumventing undesired complexation issues of intermediates with catalytically active metal species and thereby requalify Co/Mn/Br catalytic system under O 2 in relatively mild conditions.
