Cannabis—XV . Pyrolysis of cannabidiol. Structure elucidation of four pyrolytic products

Abstract

Pyrolysis of cannabidiol in nitrogen atmosphere affords at least six more products with longer GC-retention times than CBD, next to unconverted CBD. Two of these could be identified as Δ1(2)THC and CBN Two further products were investigated and their mass spectrometrical fragmentations and structures are proposed
