Two complementary procedures have been developed that selectively allow for the synthesis of either substituted salicylaldehydes or the corresponding 2-hydroxylbenzyl alcohols upon treatment of the 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-benzodioxan-4-one functional group with DIBAL-H or LAH, respectively.

Selective reduction protocols of the 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-benzodioxan-4-one functional group enable the synthesis of both substituted salicylaldehydes and 2-hydroxybenzyl alcohols.
