N2  - The lichen diphenyl ether epiphorellic acid 1 [6-hydroxy-3-(5&#8242;-hydroxy-2&#8242;-methoxycarbonyl- 3&#8242;-pentylphenoxy)-4-methoxy-2-pentylbenzoic acid] (5) has been prepared by unambiguous synthesis. The synthesis employed a biomimetic -type approach which envolved a Smiles rearrangement of a precursor meta- depside in the key step.
