HHC-acetate
HHC-acetate (hexahydrocannabinol-O-acetate, HHC-O) is a semi-synthetic cannabinoid derivative which has been marketed since around 2022. == Synthesis and chemistry == It is believed to be made in a three step process from cannabidiol extracted from industrial hemp by synthesis of Delta-8-THC from CBD, then hydrogenation of Delta-8-THC to Hexahydrocannabinol, then finally acetylation of HHC. == Legality == The legal status of hexahydrocannabinol and derivatives such as HHC-O varies between countries leading to widespread sale in some jurisdictions in Europe and the US, but in France HHC and HHC-O were banned in 2023, and HHC is already banned in several other countries.
