Does THCV break down into CBNV the same way THC breaks down into CBN?

So I recently spent some time in Swaziland and the question I wondered most while I was there was “Does THCV break down into CBNV the same way THC breaks down into CBN?” As thcv is rather prevalent in the region.

It will degrade into CBV, no such thing as CBNV

What in the world is this then?

CBV… lol
Canna Bi Varin CBV
Canna Bi Nol CBN
There isn’t a Cannabinolvarin

Naming conventions aside, yes it should break down in the same way.

indeed.

@CALLMEDEXTER yes the degradation is analogous.

the naming does not follow quite as you (or I) would expect.

although CBV seems to has more than one meaning…

here is the “short chain CBN analog”: Cannabivarin | C19H22O2 | ChemSpider

Cannbiniod naming is horrendous, for instance there are 3 cannabniods referenced as HHC that are commonly misidentified as hexahydocannabinol

It will break down the same way as d9 but the standards are likely a long way from existing aside from CBV

If someone asked me for cannabivarinol, I’d be pretty sure they knew which structure they wanted.

Cannabinolvarin doesn’t sound right.

Right I agree if somebody asked me for CBNV I would understand what they are after just think its important we properly classify identify and educate people as we move deeper into the spice 3.0 era

Yes, but nowadays we’re armed with screenshots of poorly written legislation

Seems that it has also been called Cannibivarol, by R. Mechoulam

That name actually makes more sense because it still signifies the divarinolic acid precursor but includes the hydroxyl group. IUPAC for anything ending with 1-ol nomenclature should always end in “ol”
