Summary

Description
English: Biosynthesis of THC-COOH (THCA). In the first step, Geranyl pyrophosphate and Olivetolic acid (4-Hydroxy-6-n-pentylsalicylic acid) form Cannabigerolic acid, which is then enzymatically rearranged to THC-COOH in the second step. The geranyl chain in the second step is E-configured, as in the first step. Therefore the double bond is drawn to be "twisted". This representation is chosen merely for simpler representation.
