Perrottetinene is a naturally occurring cannabinoid compound found in liverworts from the family Radulaceae native to Japan, New Zealand and Costa Rica, namely Cladoradula perrottetii, Radula marginata and Radula laxiramea,[1][2] along with a number of similar compounds.[3][4] Its chemical structure closely resembles that of THC, the main active component of marijuana but with a cis rather than trans conformation and a bibenzyl tailchain instead of pentyl.[5] The absolute configuration of perrottetinene was established in 2008 by an enantioselective total synthesis.[6]
