In the dehydrodehalogenation of 2,4-dibromomenthone, in both acidic and alkaline media, in addition to thymol two other minor products are also obtained.One of them is shown to be a novel alkylation product and characterised as 4,4',4''-trioxy-2,2',2''-trimethyl-5,5',5''-triisopropyltriphenylmethane (4,4',4''-trithymylmethane) on the basis of chemical and spectroscopic data.
