Cannabivarin and Tetrahydrocannabivarin, Two New Constituents of Hashish
@article{Merkus1971CannabivarinAT, title={Cannabivarin and Tetrahydrocannabivarin, Two New Constituents of Hashish}, author={Frans W. H. M. Merkus}, journal={Nature}, year={1971}, volume={232}, pages={579-580} }
WE have identified two more constituents of hashish to add to the constituents of hashish already known1. In 1969 Vollner et al.2 identified cannabidivarin, a cannabidiol homologue in which the side chain is C3H7 instead of C5H11. All cannabinoids found until then had contained an olivetyl group (n-amylresorcinol). This was the first cannabinoid found which contained a divarinyl group (n-propylresorcinol). Because many constituents are derived from cannabidiol and cannabidiolic acid, Vollner et…
