Isocannabispiran

Iso-cannabispiran 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. Iso-cannabispiran is formally classified as a phenol and 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 Iso-cannabispiran is similar to Cannabispiran except the positions of hydroxy and methoxy groups on benzene ring.
