CBNA in Distillate

this guy seems to have similar levels of cbna on his coa too

Distillate for $800 with great minors low THC 10 kg's left

Looking to get rid of the last of our inventory to purchase some CBG biomass, open to trades. Check out the COA, honestly has some really good minors. [2001NBL0279.0721 - Canna Vessel Labs - Distillate] Here are some pictures, crystallizes about an hour or so after distillation.

I’m going to run a sample of the crude myself and then get it tested with steep hill. They have a CBNA standard. Then I will send the same sample to this lab here to compare. Again, not that I think it is CBNA, but this should help prove that it isn’t.

If they’re running the same method, they’ll get the same result. I wouldn’t say it’s meaningful to get it retested. What you really need to do is isolate the supposed CBNA and get an NMR done on it.

I think it’s cbnd, you’re making cbd into cbnd how thc gets made into cbn if you isomerize (which he did) then your cbd would convert to d8 and cbnd. Anytime I made d8 from thc I’d always get some cbn, why can’t you get cbnd if you isomerize cbd?

I’ve always wondered if this compound was able to account for the psychoactivity attributed to CBN. I didnt notice any effects of CBN at all when I tried it.

This old paper claims that photochemical conversion of CBD produces the compound CBND up to a purity of about 50%.

@Roguelab weren’t you reaching about 50% CBN with your early photo conversion experiments? Was there any psychoactivity in your samples?

Yes but I atribute that to the large amount of thc for that s always been my starting material
But intersting

I have never even seen a COA in Fl where they tested for CBNa. Also I don’t see CBDa turning into CBNa i would have to agree with @Kingofthekush420 that the peak is more likely to be CBNd only becuse that is a more natural pathway for CBDa. There is a chance that CBDa could be converted to THCa and then there is a pathway to CBNa using heat. I dont think that second option is very likely here unless youre doing some type of CRC that is adding and subtracting hydrogens and manipulating your extract.
