Molecular structure

Cannabinodiol (CBDL) is one of many phytocannabinoids present in the plant Cannabis sativa, otherwise know as marijuana. Despite being present in low concentrations,[1] it is relevant for being one of three known psychoactive cannabinoids present in the plant, although at lower concentrations than THC and cannabinol, the most concentrated and relevant psychoactive compounds. It is a constituent of Lebanese hashish. The chemical nomenclature and preferred IUPAC name is 2,6-dihydroxy-6′-isopropenyl-3′-methyl-4-n-pentyl-biphenyl, the aromatic analogue of cannabidiol. It can occur as a product from the photochemical conversion of cannabinol.[2]
