##STR00001##

The synthesis of a range of pentylbezene-1,3-diol compounds of formula I is disclosed. These compounds bind to cannabinoid 1 and 2 receptors (CB1 and CB2), and are thus presumed to be useful in modulating the activity of such receptors. Accordingly, the use of such synthetic cannabinoids in the treatment of various disorders mediated by CB1 and CB2 is contemplated.
