What the fuck is CBGo and why the fuck is it a thing? Because its the product name of course

I’ve seen thc-o acetate being marketed as thc-x recently

I opened this thread in disbelief thinking “has someone begun attempting to produce the orcinol series?”

But of course, no.

Is it possible to acetylate only one of the Hydroxl groups. Maybe it’s only a theoretical metabolite.

Yes, at least on the back of my envelope.

Assuming equal reactivity and using one equivalent of acetylating reagent one should expect 1/3 diacetylation, 1/3 monoacetylation, and 1/3 unreacted CBG.

Once a single phenol is acetylated the ring is partially deactivated, and so, would you still be

At that point?

Mostly from an Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution point of view, I would think. But the nucleophilicity of an hydroxyl in a meta position shouldn’t decrease that much, I think.

Maybe the effect could be bigger if diacetylation of a 1,4-dihydroxybenzene was attempted?

I think the product distribution would be much closer to the statistical distribution I threw out rather than the ideal 100% monoacetylation.

I’ll try to look into acetylation of model compounds to see what I can find.

Well folks, a few years have passed.

Is Cannabigerorcin (CBGo) worth experimenting/acquiring?

For what? Dont vape it.
