The stereospecific elimination of the 3‐deuterium atom from metabolites of [2H]‐analogues of Δ1‐tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ1‐THC), Δ6‐THC and Δ7‐THC has been investigated as a possible method for determining the stereochemistry of metabolites substituted with hydroxy or acid groups in the terpene ring. Elimination of HCOOTMS was found to involve the 3‐hydrogen of the axial but not the equatorial isomer of hexahydrocannabinol‐7‐oic acid, a metabolite of all three cannabinoids. Similar stereospecific eliminations were observed during the loss of TMSOH from the TMS derivatives of 5α‐hydroxy‐Δ6‐THC, 6α‐hydroxy‐Δ1‐THC and 1α,2β‐dihydroxy‐Δ1‐THC. Loss of TMSOH from 1α,7‐ and 1β,7‐dihydroxy‐HHC involved the 3‐hydrogen in both cases but the isomers could be distinguished as their alkane‐boronate derivatives; only the derivative of 1α,7‐dihydroxy‐HHC lost the boronate ring with stereospecific removal of the 3‐hydrogen. The stereochemistry of the four isomers of 1,6‐dihydroxy‐HHC could not be determined in this way as the [M‐TMSOH]+˙ions from all four compounds had lost the 3‐hydrogen, presumably as the result of 1,6‐bond cleavage.
