Function:
Olivetol, also known as 5-pentylresorcinol or 5-pentyl-1,3-benzenediol, is an organic compound found in certain species of lichen;it is also a precursor in various syntheses of TN.
Application:
Olivetol is a naturally occurring organic compound. Olivetol powder is found in certain species of lichens and can be readily extracted.
5-Pentylresorcinol is also produced by a number of insects, either as a pheromone, repellent or antiseptic.
The plant internally produces the related substance olivetolic acid (OLA), which was hypothesized that the plant in turn utilizes to biosynthesize the psychoactive product (THC).
Olivetol is biosynthesized by a polyketide synthase-type reaction from hexanoyl-CoA and three molecules of malonyl-CoA by an aldol condensation of a tetraketide intermediate.
