Acetylation of 1,3-propylenedithioacetal of 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde silyl ether 5 followed by reductive desulfurization of the masking group gave ketone 7 which was reduced to alcohol 8. Hydrolysis of the silyl protecting groups in 7 and 8 afforded the title compounds which were metabolites of 1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-2-propanone, found in smoked meat.
