✦ Synopsis
1/3,6gEpoxy-hexahydrocannabinol acetate (1) in the presence of borontrifluoride rearranged to 6-oxo-hexahydrocannabinol acetate (3b) and to the aldehyde (4). Hydroboratlon of AE-THC gave the 6-hydroxy hexahydrocannabinols 5a and &I. The latter was converted into A+THC (11). This THC isomer shows no cannabis-type activity in rhesus monkeys.
