3'-hydroxy-thc 3'-hydroxy-thc 3'-hydroxy-thc (3'-oh-δ9-thc) is a minor active metabolite of thc, the main psychoactive component of cannabis. it is one of a number of metabolites of thc hydroxylated on the pentyl side chain, but while the other side-chain hydroxyl isomers are much weaker or inactive, the s enantiomer of 3'-oh-thc is several times more potent than thc itself, and while it is produced in smaller amounts than other active metabolites such as 11-hydroxy-thc and 8,11-dihydroxy-thc, it is thought to contribute to the overall pharmacological profile of cannabis. 3'-hydroxy-thcidentifiers iupac name (6ar,10ar)-3--6,6,9-trimethyl-6a,7,8,10a-tetrahydrobenzochromen-1-ol pubchem cid101594562chemspider23130105chemical and physical dataformulac21h30o3molar mass330.468 g·mol−13d model (jsmol)interactive image smiles cc(o)ccc1cc2oc(c)(c)3ccc(c)=c3c2c(o)c1 inchi inchi=1s/c21h30o3/c1-5-15(22)8-7-14-11-18(23)20-16-10-13(2)6-9-17(16)21(3,4)24-19(20)12-14/h10-12,15-17,22-23h,5-9h2,1-4h3/t15?,16-,17-/m1/s1key:gwspozkxwmvven-yjekiollsa-n
