A compound known as cannabihexol or CBNH

This little known molecule could be potentially quite nice if taken orally due to the predicted formation of 11-hydroxycannabihexol as a metabolite…

I quite enjoy edibles with 1:1 CBN:THC so I found this pretty interesting!!

This compound could be synthesized from 5-hexylresorcinol in a one pot elemental iodine catalyzed Friedel-Crafts reaction: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0040402024003697

A paper about the metabolism and psychoactive aspects of normal CBN isolate in mice can be found here:
