where is this work published/reported
who evaluated the “ketamine disassociation”???
Yes, the 9S isomer is the structure in which the methyl group and the lone hydrogen “have changed” places with each other in the 3D structure you shared.
Designating a chiral carbon center as R (rectus) or S (sinister) is done by following the CIP rules (Cahn-Ingold-Prelog).

It just shows you the CSA was not thought up by chemist but people who were scared of buzz words.
I like how Acetic Anhydride is in the same “schedule” as toluene. What’s interesting is if you dig in you discover that the second list has a threshold of 55gallons (for acetone and toluene) before it’s “watchable”. I’ll see if I can find that tidbit.
Synthetic generally implies that bonds have been broken or created. And HHC isn’t an isomer of CBD, it is a derivative. HHC made from d8/d9 can be considered to be semisynthetic since the starting point is a natural product. HHC made using other routes, including the olivetol routes is synthetic.

Typically, the word resolve in organic chemistry implies the resolution of an enantiomeric pair into its two separate enantiomers.
What Mechoulam did was to separate two different diastereomers.

Actually, there are EIGHT possible stereoisomers of HHC possible. There are three chiral carbons, hence, there are 2x2x2=8 theoretically possible HHCs.

yes, obviously. i should have clarified that there are only two stereoisomers of HHC created in this reaction.

Just don’t post screenshots of our text exchanges. I consider those covered by professional privilege.

Well, you do know the guy, don’t you? From what he pulls off on a regular basis, it looks like neither “professional” nor “privilege” are in his vocabulary.

Holy shit he’s gonna fucking kill someone. I’ve seen so many of that dudes awful shitty videos to laugh about but this time it’s actually dangerous for him to put that information out there. He’s makin it seem like you can just toss this shit in the flask and roll with it. Unfortunately it is not that simple.

He’s not a good look for the industry, that’s for sure. You’re right though, this is all funny and cringe to us — until it’s too late.

If someone wants to give me some better videos/literature I’d love to share it on reddit
As of now it’s just Dr. Scialdone’s video and @CO_Chromatography HHC literature packet
