The chemical reactions and pathways involving aromatic compounds, any organic compound characterized by one or more planar rings, each of which contains conjugated double bonds and delocalized pi electrons, as carried out by individual cells. The chemical reactions and pathways involving a diol, any alcohol containing two hydroxyl groups attached to saturated carbon atoms. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of catechol, a compound containing a pyrocatechol nucleus or substituent. The chemical reactions and pathways involving alcohols, any of a class of compounds containing one or more hydroxyl groups attached to a saturated carbon atom. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of a siderophore from other compounds, including catechol. The chemical reactions and pathways involving protocatechuate, the anion of protocatechuic acid (3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid). The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of (R)-mandelate into other compounds, including catechol. The chemical reactions and pathways involving any of a group of physiologically important biogenic amines that possess a catechol (3,4-dihydroxyphenyl) nucleus and are derivatives of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethylamine. The chemical reactions and pathways involving gallate, the anion of gallic acid (3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid). The esters and polyesters are widely distributed in angiosperms. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of catechol, a compound containing a pyrocatechol nucleus or substituent. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of tryptophan into other compounds, including catechol. The chemical reactions and pathways involving a compound containing a pyrocatechol (1,2-benzenediol) nucleus or substituent. The chemical reactions and pathways involving a phenol, any compound containing one or more hydroxyl groups directly attached to an aromatic carbon ring. The largest single use of phenol is in the production of plastics, but it is also used in the synthesis of caprolactam, a precursor for nylon 6 and other man-made fibers. The formation from toluene of catechol, dihydroxybenzene, by successive oxidations followed by loss of carbon dioxide (CO2).
