Cannabis XVII: Pyrolysis of cannabidiol. Structure elucidation of two pyrolytic conversion products

Abstract
Pyrolysis of cannabidiol in a nitrogen atmosphere, which was shown to be a good model for the smoking process, yields a mixture of compounds. Next to the previously described major rearrangement product 2 we have now isolated and identified two more compounds formed by rearrangement processes: 2‐[2‐(p‐tolyl)propyl]olivetol (3) and 4‐(3,4‐trans‐p‐mentha‐1,8‐dien‐3‐yl)olivetol (1b).
