Key Synthetic Intermediate: CBGAQ CAS 2442482-70-2
CBGAQ (CAS 2442482-70-2) is a key synthetic intermediate featuring a reactive diene core and a carboxylic acid functional group. It is primarily used in the synthesis of complex organic molecules, including cannabinoid precursors and other bioactive compounds.Cannabigerolic Acid Quinone (CBGAQ) is a unique, oxidized derivative of Cannabigerolic acid (CBGA), the central biosynthetic precursor to all major phytocannabinoids (like THCA, CBDA, CBCA). Structurally, CBGAQ is characterized by the conversion of the resorcinol (1,3-dihydroxybenzene) ring in CBGA into a para-quinone (2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone) moiety. This quinoid transformation significantly alters its chemical reactivity, redox potential, and biological activity, placing it in the emerging class of quinone cannabinoids.
