Laccase-catalytic oxidations of urushiol and its analoglues have been investigated in various aqueous solutions of ethanol. Alkyl substituted pyrocatechol will favor the enzymatic oxidation. The results suggest that the reaction consists of formation of yellow quinones and then coupling of them to produce polyphenylphenols.
