Olivetolsäure , also 4-hydroxy-6- n -pentylsalicylsäure , the carboxylic acid - derivative of olivetol . It is a meroterpenoid that serves as the biogenetic precursor of various derivatives of dibenzopyran - so-called cannabinoids . Cannabigerolic acid is formed by enzymatic condensation from the two precursors geranyl pyrophosphate and olivetolic acid , which is then enzymatically rearranged into tetrahydrocannabinolic acid . Olivetolic acid itself is probably synthesized in a similar way to orsellic acid , starting from a tetraketide that is formed from caproic acid and three acetate units. Olivetolic acid can also be artificially represented. Olivetolic acid occurs naturally in the fungus Cetrelia sanguinea and has a monoclinic crystal structure with the space group P 2 1 / n (space group no. 14, position 2) .
It differs from orsellic acid in the length of the alkyl side chain. The olivetol is produced by decarboxylation .
