Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2-Isopropyl-5-methyl-1-(2,6-dihydroxy-4-nonylphenyl)cyclohex-1-ene


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. Has been replaced by CBD-DMH, which is apparently more ... chemically ... correct. Can be undeleted for the purpose of history merging if desired, but it's not clear that this is wanted or needed.  Sandstein  08:32, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

2-Isopropyl-5-methyl-1-(2,6-dihydroxy-4-nonylphenyl)cyclohex-1-ene

Mistake in structure, this compound does not exist and references instead list dimethylheptyl isomer. Leyo 22:51, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Is the dimethylheptyl isomer worthy of an article? If this is simply a terminology mistake, it could be resolved with a page-move and content-change to help WP:PRESERVE the work that has already been done on it. There are analogous articles on other languages' sites:
 * de:2-Isopropyl-5-methyl-1-(2,6-dihydroxy-4-nonylphenyl)cyclohex-1-en, with a discussion of it de:Wikipedia:Redaktion_Chemie/Qualitätssicherung that clones en.wp discussion of it
 * sh:2-Izopropil-5-metil-1-(2,6-dihidroksi-4-nonilfenil)cikloheks-1-en
 * sr:2-Izopropil-5-metil-1-(2,6-dihidroksi-4-nonilfenil)cikloheks-1-en
 * and "just rename and edit" would likely be a portable solution to those sites...anyone could do it without having to know those languages or their deletion processes. DMacks (talk) 23:46, 27 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment I would say the dimethylheptyl isomers are notable enough for an article, not sure if the 1,2-dimethylheptyl compound that this article should be about has been reported other than in the two references given, but the 1,1-dimethylheptyl isomer CBD-DMH has been studied in several much more recent papers. And both isomers produce cannabinoid effects in animals, which cannabidiol itself and most other related compounds do not, which was what made me think it was notable initially. So if the article is retained it should be about the more notable CBD-DMH and just mention the 1,2 isomer is also known and has similar activity. Unfortunately I'm pretty busy right now and don't have time to write a decent page about it, but if someone else feels so inclined then go for it. Maybe User:BaeyerDrewson has a few minutes spare ;-) Meodipt (talk) 10:07, 28 January 2017 (UTC) edit: giving it more thought, CBD-DMH also has the double bond in the cyclohexene ring in a different position. I believe a number of isomers have been made with different stereochemistry too. Meodipt (talk) 10:32, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
 * What about CAS numbers? --Leyo 09:44, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
 * The isomer of CBD-DMH most commonly used in research has CAS# 97452-63-6 but there are a number of others with the same molecular weight, which I presume will also have CAS numbers assigned, I don't have access to SciFinder though. Meodipt (talk) 17:56, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
 * See Hanus et al, Org. Biomol. Chem., 2005; 3: 1116-1123. Meodipt (talk) 01:21, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Ok, I found the time to make a reasonable start on a page for CBD-DMH, thats about all I can do on it right now but it should be enough to replace this one with. Meodipt (talk) 02:44, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Is the new article intended to replace the old one? --Leyo 10:28, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
 * That was my intention, yes. Meodipt (talk) 17:25, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I wonder if DMacks now also supports deletion. --Leyo 15:48, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Well now it would be a merge rather than a delete anyway. Meodipt (talk) 19:28, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete or histmerge replaced by the correctly titled CBD-DMH article. No need for redirect since the title is incorrect. No substantive contributions to the old article by anyone other than User:Meodipt, who also wrote the new one, so I don't see a clear need to preserve that content for licensing reasons. DMacks (talk) 11:20, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I think that there is an agreement on that. --Leyo 13:19, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I may not become further involved in this discussion. North America1000 06:48, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
