Cannabis. XIII. Two new spiro-compounds, cannabispirol and acetyl cannabispirol
Shoyama,Nishioka
, p. 3641 - 3646 (1978)
Two new spiro-compounds, cannabispirol and acetyl cannabispirol, were isolated along with cannabispirone and cannabispirenone from the Japanese domestic cannabis and these structures were elucidated. The biogenetic relationship of spiro-compounds and cannabinoids was also discussed.

An efficient route to the O-protected spirenones (2c) and (2d) is described: from these, the five known natural spirans of cannabis, i.e. cannabispiradienone (1a), cannabispirenone-A (2a), cannabispirenone-B (2b), cannabispirone (3a) and cannabispiranol (4a), are synthesised.

O-Methylcannabispirenone has been synthesised (57percent overall from 3,5-dimethoxycinnamic acid) via 5,7-dimethoxyindanone, p-tolylsulphonylmethyl isocyanide conversion into the 1-nitrile, alkylation with 1-iodo-3,3-ethylenedioxybutane, deacetalisation, and spirocyclisation. 5,7-Dimethoxyindanone is 7-deprotected by boron trichloride with high selectivity, and re-protected as the methoxyethoxymethyl ether: following the above route, finally deprotecting by boron trichloride, gives cannabispirenone-A (2) in 21percent overall yield.O-Methylcannabispirenone can be demethylated to give (2) by lithium 1,1-dimethylethanethiolate: demethylation with boron tribromide gives cannabispirenone-B (3).Hydrogenation of synthetic cannabispirenone-A gives cannabispirone (4), reduced by borohydride to the epimeric α-(6) and β-(5) cannabispiranols, separated by h.p.l.c.Dehydrogenation of O-methylcannabispirenone with dichlorodicyanobenzoquinone, followed by lithium 1,1-dimethylethanethiolate demethylation, gives cannabispiradienone (1).Under acidic conditions, the latter undergoes dienone-phenol rearrangement to give cannithrene-1 (8), thus completing the total synthesis of the spiro-cannabinoid group of natural products discussed in the preceding paper.The unsubstituted cannabispirenone parent has also been synthesised.

Since non-cannabinoids may influence the pharmacological profile of Cannabis-leaf drug, a detailed examination of the acidic-fraction from leaf extractive has been made.Twelve non-cannabinoids have been isolated crystalline from a single high Δ1/sup
