Please help me to draw accurate chemical structure of trimethylgallic anhydride which is used for the synthesis of flavonoids. Although, I drawn it as attached, but I am not fully convinced.
The formula drawn by you is OK. /CH3O/3C6H2-CO-O-CO-C6H2 /OCH3/3 which means, the trimethyl gallic acid anhydride is 3,4,5 trimetoxibenzoic acid anhydride.
I believe your structure is correct. The anhydride of trimethylgallic acid is formed from two molecules of the acid. An analogy is the formation of acetic anhydride from two molecules of acetic acid.

Thanks for the supportive answer. I am not aware who has doubt for the same. As the respective person has not given any clarification kindly ignore the same.
I was tried to show this structure directly by availing computer software's to save the time of researcher from download, open etc.
