Conversion of CBDV Isolate into THCV

Hash and Stuff Pre/Post-Processing

I am a novice when it comes to chemistry and am curious what can be done with CBDV isolate.

I have access to close to 99% pure CBDV isolate and would love to explore the possibility of converting it into THCV.

I am familiar with the processes for converting CBD Isolate into D8-THC. Is this possible with CBDV?

I am also curious if we currently have any scientific understanding of THCV isomers, specifically if a CBDV conversion to THCV(if possible) would yield something like a D8 isomer instead of D9?

Thanks Cannafam.

The propyl cannabinoids only have a shorter alkane chain attached to their benzene rings, so acidic conversion of cbd to thc should remain consistant

The same “Iodine promoted aromatization…” paper, in fact has a section where they describe the same process they use for (CBD/THC>CBN) working for the propyl analogs as well.

D8THCV is so far an untested compound. Very interested in properties

I’ve been wanting to try this but haven’t been able to find an abundance of cbdv material. I would imagine cbdv would isomerize to Δ8-Thcv the same way you would get cbd to isomerize to Δ8-Thc. Just throw 100gs of cbdv isolate into your flask and add 10% carbon and reflux it. If that works I’d have no reason to think that you couldn’t do the same with Δ9-thcv using a different catalyst and nitrogen backfill.

I would attempt with carbon first just to see what kind of conversion you can get, then I would try using a better catalyst to get a better conversion.

You will probably see the same issues that people are having with the iodine method:

Hard to get iodine
Hard to completely remove iodine
not an efficient reaction (it was reported on small scale)

Not true

It’s been shown to have potent anti nicotine effects in rats

@krinkle
I can make that into pure d8 thc v for you

I’ve been trying to get my hands on some to try delta 8 thc v!

Or I could even make cbn v?

Lol

I have absolutely no lab to commence an experiment in. I would be happy to provide CBDV for some experimentation if I can snag a new batch. What could you do with 100 grams?

Do you have the ability to process a 100 gram test of CBDV —> THCV?

Yes, I just purchased a 1l short path strictly for converting cbd to Δ8-Thc and Δ9-thc. I have a catalyst in mind for a high conversion as well. This week I was gonna test it out. Currently able to get 70% Δ8-thc from cbd isolate. Should atleast be able to get that in thcv off of cbdv.

Let me know we can work out a contract I’d just need access to the catalyst but that’s costly for the exact one.

I Graduated from VCU, surprisingly a lot of cannabinoid research has been done there. Look up the work of Richard Glennon

Reflux it in a solvent before distilling. Molecules need some space to move around

Solvent of choice?

Heptane- nice high BP- I imagine a lower BP solvent might slow the conversion though

Heptane or hexane, dm me if you want the ex’s name for the reagent

Whatre you looking to make?

Solvent evaporation temp plays a huge roll in reaction rate

Hey Guys we are a company in the Netherlands and have the CBDV isolate, who can help us to convert it into THCV?? Love to hear.
