Abstract
In recent years the study of the chemistry of Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica and other varieties of plants, both foreign and domestic, more commonly known as marihuana, and its flower extract, the oil of hashish, has led to many new and unique syntheses of their respective substituents.The interest in this area of natural products chemistry has been stimulated by the wide "misuse" of these substances. This interest exploded spectacularly in recent years and is still spreading, as these compounds occupy a central position in the category of mind-affecting drugs known as psychotropic agents. Since these substances figure prominently in the current world-wide debate on drug abuse and society's opinion as to risks attached with their use ranges uncertainly between two extremes, new methods for the substances’ syntheses have been actively sought.
