Condensing Olivetol with Citral Via TSoh
« on: October 22, 2010, 02:59:18 AM »
Hi, I'm completely new here. I won't be staying long, just one quick question :).

Is there any reason why one hypothetically could not condense Olivetol with Citral using toluenesulfonic acid in benzene instead of using the classic, BF3 etherate? It seems like a viable rxn scheme to THC, sure the yields might be low but this is out of org. chem inquiry.

I know there is a thread concerning THC synthesis that is already open but I figured this is a pretty specific question maybe someone could shine some light on .

Thanks, shine on.
This never really happens, but an eye still see's these things. It keeps happening. You just don't see it.
