Methyl olivetolate

Description:

Methyl olivetolate is an organic compound classified as a phenolic compound, specifically a methyl ester of olivetolic acid. It is characterized by its structure, which includes a phenolic ring and a long aliphatic chain, contributing to its hydrophobic properties. This compound is often associated with the biosynthesis of cannabinoids, particularly in plants like Cannabis sativa, where it plays a role in the formation of various cannabinoids. Methyl olivetolate is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The compound exhibits potential biological activities, including antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, making it of interest in both pharmacological and agricultural research. Additionally, its role in the biosynthetic pathways of cannabinoids has garnered attention in studies related to cannabis chemistry and potential therapeutic applications. As with many organic compounds, safety and handling precautions should be observed, as it may pose risks if ingested or improperly handled.
