Olivetol Powder and CBD synthesis
A review of CBD synthesis has been reported some years ago (Mechoulam & Hanuš, 2002). CBD is conventionally prepared from olivetol, a resorcinol bearing a pentyl side chain. Olivetol powder was also used as an inhibitor of (S)-mephenytoin 4′-hydroxylase activity of recombinant CYP2C19.
