Description

Butyl-Delta(8)-Tetrahydrocannabinol CAS NO 51768-59-3 is a synthetic cannabinoid derivative, specifically a butyl homolog of the well-known δ8-THC. This compound is valued for its high purity and defined chemical structure, making it a critical reference standard and a key intermediate in advanced research and development. It is primarily sought by pharmaceutical research laboratories, analytical testing facilities, and specialized chemical manufacturers engaged in cannabinoid science, medicinal chemistry, and forensic analysis.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used for the calibration of analytical instruments (HPLC, GC-MS) and the quantification of cannabinoids in research samples and commercial products.
• Medicinal Chemistry Research: Serves as a precise chemical building block for studying structure-activity relationships (SAR) and developing novel therapeutic agents targeting the endocannabinoid system.
• Forensic Analysis & Toxicology: Employed as a certified reference material (CRM) for the accurate identification and confirmation of synthetic cannabinoids in forensic investigations.
• Biochemical Research: Utilized in in vitro studies to investigate cannabinoid receptor (CB1/CB2) binding affinity, potency, and metabolic pathways.
• Process Development & Scale-up: Acts as a high-purity intermediate for the synthesis and process optimization of other specialized cannabinoid derivatives.

Quality Control

Every batch of our Butyl-Delta(8)-Tetrahydrocannabinol is manufactured and analyzed under strict quality management protocols. We guarantee high chemical purity and identity confirmation through multiple orthogonal analytical techniques. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA), detailing results from HPLC, GC-MS, NMR, and other relevant tests, is provided with each shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) or under refrigeration (2-8°C) as specified. This product is easily oxidized; it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to maintain purity and prevent degradation. Keep the container in a dry, well-ventilated area.
