title: Pyrolysis of cannabidiol. Structure elucidation of a major pyrolytic conversion product.
abstract: Pyrolysis of cannabidiol, one of the major constituents of Cannabis sativa, yields a mixture of components. Next to previously identified products, a major conversion product has now been isolated and identified. The unusual and stereospecific route of formation of this compound with altered chromophore is discussed.
