stipitatic acid mescaline analog?
« on: May 27, 2004, 04:34:00 PM »
stipitatic acid resembles gallic acid except the ring structure is cycloheptatriene and the middle hydroxyl is a ketone. also one hydroxyl is two carbons away from the ketone instead of next to it. otherwise i canĀ“t help noticing how similar the structure is. i was wondering if a mescaline analog based on stipitatic acid would have any biological activity and what might the legalities of such a compound be?

Even if the structures look similar on paper, they are very dissimilar in real life. A benzene ring is planar and aromatic, cycloheptatriene is aliphatic and rather convoluted.
