    Abstract:
    Single-crystal X-ray analysis of (±)-cannabitriol (1), isolated from Panamanian Cannabis, confirmed the structure of previously isolated (+)- and (-)-cannabitriol and defined the relative stereochemistry at the asymmetric centers. Based on the results obtained from this study, all compounds previously named cannabitriol [(+), (-), or (±)] should henceforth be designated trans-cannabitriol with appropriate sign of optical rotation, the other enantiomeric pair of (±)-9,10-dihydroxy-Δ6a(10a)-tetrahydrocannabinols being (±)-m-cannabitriol (4). © 1984, American Chemical Society.
