The synthesis of the title compound 1e was achieved by an easy three‐step procedure from 1,3,5‐benzenetriol ( 1a , phloroglucinol). Compound 1a was C ‐methylated using MeI. The crude mixture obtained was acetylated to give 1d which was converted into 1e using BF 3 AcOH complex. Benzylation of the latter with benzyl chloride afforded the new non‐aromatic compound 2 . Reaction of 2 with NaOH and benzoyl chloride (Scheme 1) gave the new compound 4 . Its structure was established by X‐ray analysis.
