Abstract
Disclosed herein are embodiments of a method for making cannabidiol. Also disclosed herein are embodiments of a composition comprising cannabidiol and one or more GRAS components. The method and composition embodiments described herein address the drawbacks associated with conventional methods for making and/or isolating cannabidiol.
Claims20
A method for making cannabidiol or a composition thereof, comprising:
- combining (+)-menthadienol and olivetol with a Lewis Acid catalyst to form a first reaction mixture;
- exposing the first reaction mixture to a terpene-containing component to form a second reaction mixture;
- exposing the second reaction mixture to water to form an organic phase and an aqueous phase;
- separating the organic phase from the aqueous phase;
- and
- contacting the organic phase with an amine compound for a time sufficient to produce an insoluble complex.

A method for making cannabidiol or a composition thereof, comprising:
- forming a (+)-menthadienol solution comprising (i) (+)-menthadienol and (ii) toluene or heptane (or a heptane isomer);
- forming a olivetol solution comprising (i) olivetol and (ii) toluene or heptane (or a heptane isomer);
- combining (+)-menthadienol solution and the olivetol solution with a Lewis Acid catalyst to form a first reaction mixture;
- exposing the first reaction mixture to a terpene-containing component to form a second reaction mixture;
- exposing the second reaction mixture to water to form an organic phase and an aqueous phase;
- separating the organic phase from the aqueous phase;
- exposing the organic phase to an aqueous alkaline solution and mixing the organic phase with the aqueous alkaline solution;
- filtering the organic phase to provide a clarified solution;
- and
- mixing the clarified solution with an amine compound for a time sufficient to produce an insoluble complex.
