Cbd isomerization to d8 and d9 thc

That’s kinda what I was doing with heptane and ptsa when I’d add it when it was warm and let the exothermic reaction reflux it hard

I never got over like 1% iso thcs using ptsa

Of course idk how to facilitate making those other then what you told me

Too strong of an acid at too high temp

You think d3 cbd would form iso thcs under the right conditions if you did the ring closure on it?

Would it make the same ones iso thcs?

Just trying to think outside the box here

Some of us really do try our best to make the most compliant d8 we can

You know I’ve talked to you about it because I know if anyone can find a way to make compliant D8 it’s you

I was trying to point out the cooking analogy sounding wording of yours. Reflux temperature is reflux temperature even though you sometimes see the word vigorously used for what you describe.

My lawyer is discouraging me from trying, but then again, I’ve been known to cherry-pick lawyers.

I’m sure you have much more interesting chemistry to do then compliant D8, especially when the price is where it is on D8 right now

With your skills I know you could either do chromatography to remediate it, chloranil to oxidize the d9 into cbn or some other crazy shit I’ve probably never thought of

@mitokid never had such a clean balloon knot

I think that’s the way to go.

On a small scale hcl in gaseous form is still best D8 yields on heptane
Biggest issue I have encountered is the gaseous hcl buying in bulk for it has many issues on the Dutch bm making it $

Did and tried them don t work :smiling_face_with_tear:

Yeah making it in. Situ is very feasable
Up to 5 kg I posted the erowid hcl generator a while back sulfuric dripping on muriatic acid

The other way around, no?
