Expedient Synthesis of Hydroxytyrosol and its Esters

Abstract An efficient and friendly method for obtaining hydroxytyrosol from tyrosol, a component of olive waste, is reported. Hydroxytyrosol also may be obtained in the form of enzymatically convertible precursors (e.g., hydroxytyrosyl acetate), thus increasing the stability of the active principle.
