Friedel‐Crafts 2‐carboxbenzoylation of 2,6‐xylenol with phthalic anhydride resulted in the formation of a new p ‐acylphenol type compound: 2‐(4‐hydroxy‐3,5‐dimethylbenzoyl)benzoic acid ( 1 ) (74% yield). Similar reactions of 2,6‐xylenol with tetrabromo‐ and tetrachlorophthalic anhydride gave the benzoic acid derivatives 13 and 14 , respectively. Another practical and efficient (93%) method for preparation of compound 1 was semi‐Stieglitz rearrangement of the known 3,3‐bis(4‐hydroxy‐3,5‐dimethylphenyl)phthalide ( 9 ). Reactions of the acid 1 have been investigated, leading to its derivatives 2–12 .
