Tetrahydrocannabihexol

Tetrahydrocannabihexol (Δ⁹-THCH, Δ⁹-Parahexyl, n-Hexyl-Δ⁹-THC) is a phytocannabinoid, the hexyl homologue of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) which was first isolated from Cannabis plant material in 2020 along with the corresponding hexyl homologue of cannabidiol,^[1][2] though it had been known for several decades prior to this as an isomer of the synthetic cannabinoid parahexyl.^[3] Another isomer Δ⁸-THCH is also known as a synthetic cannabinoid under the code number JWH-124,^[4][5] though it is unclear whether this occurs naturally in Cannabis, but likely is due to Δ⁸-THC itself being a degraded form of Δ⁹-THC. THC-Hexyl can be synthesized from 4-hexylresorcinol and was studied by Roger Adams as early as 1942.^[6]
