Synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of cannabinolic acid

Cannabinoids, the main constituents of the cannabis plant, are being increasingly studied for their medicinal properties. Cannabinolic acid (CBNA; 1) was synthesized from tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA; 2), a major constituent of the cannabis plant, by aromatization using selenium dioxide mixed with trimethylsilyl polyphosphate as catalyst in chloroform. Purification was achieved by centrifugal partition chromatography, and the final product had a purity of over 96% by GC analysis. Spectroscopic data on CBNA such as 1H-NMR and IR, and molar extinction coefficients, as well as chromatographic data are presented as useful references for further research on CBNA. The developed method allows production of CBNA on a preparative scale, making it available for further studies on its biological activities as well as use as a reference standard for analytical procedures.

METHODS FOR CONVERTING TETRAHYDROCANNABINOLIC ACID INTO CANNABINOLIC ACID

Disclosed herein is a method for converting tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) to cannabinolic acid (CBNA). The method comprises contacting an input material comprising THCA with a benzoquinone reagent under reaction conditions comprising: (i) a reaction temperature that is within a target reaction-temperature range; and (ii) a reaction time that is within a target reaction-time range, to provide an output material in which at least a portion of the THCA from the input material has been converted into CBNA.
