The first synthesis of 4"-hydroxy-A1-THC-7-oic acid, one of the three major metabolites of AI-THC identified in human urine is discussed. Methyl 4-(3,5-dihydroxyphenyl)butanoate (8) was prepared from 3,5-dihydmxybenzoic acid in an overall yield of 15%. 8 was condensed with a terpene synthon (9) unde
