The synthesis and the properties of concave methyl benzoates 4 are described. The difficulties encountered in their saponification and 1 H‐NMR data show that these esters 4 are severely shielded. Saponification is possible via nucleophilic substitution at the methyl groups by lithium iodide in pyridines. The products are the new concave benzoic acids 5d and 5e .
