Ultrasonic or Microwave Modified Continuous Flow Chemistry for The Synthesis of Tetrahydrocannabinol: Observing Effects Of Various Solvents And Acids

Synthesizing tetrahydrocannabinol is a lengthy process with minimal yields and little applicability on an industrial scale. To close the gap between bench chemistry and industry process chemistry, this paper introduces a small-scale flow chemistry method that utilizes a microwave or ultrasonic medium to produce major tetrahydrocannabinol isomers. This process produces excellent yields and minimal side products, which leads to more efficient large-scale production of desired cannabinoids
