cannabispirone

Cannabispiran also known as Cannabispirone, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as indan-1-spirocyclohexanes. These are organic aromatic compounds containing a cyclohexane moiety linked to the 1-position of an indane moiety in a spiro configuration. Cannabispiran is formally classified as a phenol an it is one of thirty-four noncannabinoid phenols and one of the nine spiro-indan-type compounds that are found in cannabis plants (https://doi.org/10.1016/S0031-9422(00)81194-2). Spiro compounds are cyclic compounds that include two rings which share a single atom, usually a carbon. The simplest example of this type of compound is Spiro[2.2]pentane. The structure of Cannabispiran is similar to Iso-cannabispiran except the positions of hydroxy and methoxy groups on the benzene ring.
