I’m foggy on the science, but a buddy was talking about how CBD, methanol and KOH changes the chirality of isomerization to create D10 instead of D8 with a strong acid.

Oh WITH the acid! I read it as IN LIEU of… It is interesting how the base donates the OH (I believe it is) so that might be why it’s passing over 8 and going to D10. It’s all super interesting, but it’ll be knowledge I don’t think I’ll every use. Still trying to decide on the Industry, or construction

I’m far and away anything from knowledgeable on the subject.
My understanding from the literature is getting the cannabinoids into a super base and running cold, they ran at 0c. My guess is that reduces the undesired byproducts.
Wonder what KOH in the boiling flask during distillation would do

Shiii mane I’ll take all ya D-NuTZ. Whats that cannabinoid % 
Last post is koh in methanol
I cant confirm that’s d10 though as Alex was mis identifying d10 and 6a10a till recently

Isomerization isn’t chirality
Acids donate protons, bases pull them
When we shift the double bond on d9, a hydrogen attaches which causes the d9 double bond to shift to the more stable d8 double bond position and another hydrogen pops off
This is why you can use a tiny bit of acid and make d8, the reaction will keep going till its stopped or an equilibrium is reached
D10 is made by pulling hydrogens
Specifically ones off the top carbon sticking out
This causes a chiral center and a chain reaction happens that shifts the double bond the opposite way
This same process on cbd makes d8 cbd (NOT cbd quinone)
This is a very basic breakdown

Ayyyyyy
Sorry, couldn’t help it

Like I said- second hand conversation on the science, not my own. Thanks for the explanation.

We mis identified a few samples for sure. But we’ve pretty much chased the source of those errors and what causes the mystery peaks in manufacturing
I don’t think you had any samples that turned out to not be d10 but maybe. I’ll look again

I found the round we misidentified and we do know now it’s either not d10 or it’s a stereoisomer. I’ll send you updates soon. 90% of our d10 tested has been accurate but these ones slipped by for sure

I actually found the last sulphur reaction I did, im going to send to KCA and you for testing
I dont think your patent is accurate tbh you’re not gonna make 6a10a without acid in there

This is SAD.
Our customers have been asking for it. There are people who say they have it but I just don’t trust it. If anyone DOES REALLY have it, would love to get a sample to do test and then buy… that as well as any other cool variations

I’ll send a d10 sample y’all’s way. Your sales rep told me y’all got hella people asking you for suppliers. Woulda sent stuff in a while back if I knew that

Spare an extra sample? I’ll test it for free if I can post the results on here.

Would pay for samples. Please pm me
I have 51% D10 Liters @kcalabs, still figuring out the best market price. Any input?
Happy to send a sample.
It’d be the first we’ve seen other than some high purity powders.
One particular testing lab is misidentifying d8 peaks as d10, so I guess it depends where your test is from.

Wouldn’t be altitude would it?
