3-(2,3-dihydroxyphenyl)propanoate catabolic process
3-chlorocatechol catabolic process
catechol catabolic process, meta-cleavage
The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of catechol via the meta-cleavage pathway, in which the catechol aromatic ring is broken between a hydroxylated carbon atom and an adjacent unsubstituted carbon atom.
