Natural Product Identification
Common NameOlivetolic Acid
DescriptionOlivetolic acid, also known as olivetolate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives. Hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives are compounds containing a hydroxybenzoic acid (or a derivative), which is a benzene ring bearing a carboxyl and a hydroxyl groups. Olivetolic Acid is found in Cannabis inflorescences. Olivetolic Acid was first documented in 2009 (PMID: 19454282). Olivetolic acid is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa) (PMID: 22802619).
