1. Basic Info
Name: Cannabigerol
Alias: CBG, 2-[(2E)-3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadien-1-yl]-5-pentylbenzene-1,3-diol,
CAS No.: 25654-31-3
Molecular Formula: C21H32O2
Molecular Weight: 316.48
2. Physical & Chemical Properties
Physical Properties
- Appearance: White to off-white crystalline powder
- Odor: Faint natural herbal terpene odor
- Solubility: Freely soluble in ethanol, DMSO, methanol, chloroform, hexane; insoluble in water; high lipophilicity (LogP=7.47)
- Melting Point: 49–50 °C
- Boiling Point: 470.4±40.0 °C (760 mmHg, predicted)
- Density (25℃): 0.987–1.00 g/cm3
- Refractive Index nD2?: 1.536
- Flash Point: 207.2±21.9 °C
- Vapor Pressure: Extremely low at room temperature (1.8×10?? mmHg)
- Hygroscopy: Non-hygroscopic; prone to oxidation under warm, open air
- Storage requirement: Sealed, light-proof, -20°C low-temperature storage recommended
Chemical Properties
- Core structure: Resorcinol benzene ring linked with pentyl alkyl and monoterpene diene side chain, two phenolic hydroxyl groups
- Phenolic hydroxyl activity: Weak acidity (pKa=9.71), can form salts with alkali metals; undergoes esterification, etherification reactions
- Thermal stability: Stable below 140°C; thermal degradation above 150°C, generates terpene decomposition impurities
- Photostability: Sensitive to UV light; long-term illumination causes oxidation, yellow discoloration and potency loss
- Acid-base tolerance: Stable in neutral/weak acid environments; strong alkali heating triggers side-chain double bond isomerization; concentrated strong acid promotes dehydration
- Oxidation susceptibility: Easily oxidized by air oxygen when exposed; must add antioxidants for long-term preservation
- Receptor selectivity: Non-psychoactive cannabinoid, weak partial agonist of CB1/CB2 receptors, no euphoric effect
- Compatibility: Compatible with vegetable oils, medium-chain triglycerides, cosmetic solvents; incompatible with strong oxidants, concentrated strong alkali
