An efficient method is reported for the synthesis of 1-n-alkyl-3,5-dimethoxybenzenes, useful intermediates in the synthesis of cannabinoids, from the readily available and cheap 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid.The key step is the electron-transfer induced highly regioselective demethoxylation of 1-n-alkyl-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzenes.
