A method of reducing an aromatic ring or a cyclic, allylic ether in a compound includes preparing a reaction mixture including a compound including an aromatic moiety or a cyclic, allylic ether moiety, an alkali metal, and either ethylenediamine, diethylenetriamine, triethylenetetramine, or a combination thereof, in an ether solvent; and reacting the reaction mixture at from −20° C. to 30° C. for a time sufficient to reduce a double bond in the aromatic moiety to a single bond or to reduce the cyclic, allylic ether moiety.

The invention relates to methods for producing botanical extracts comprising cannabinoids and terpenes using cold extraction with highly polyunsaturated lipid solvents. These methods allow for the extraction of cannabinoids and terpenes while leaving behind impurities that are commonly found in organic solvent extraction methods.

The present invention relates to the compounds of formula (I) below:

##STR00001##

wherein: X represents an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom, a nitrogen atom or a CH radical, The bond XY and Y are absent if X represents an oxygen or sulfur atom, the bond XY and Y are present if X represents a nitrogen atom or a CH radical, When present, Y represents a group R if X represents a nitrogen atom, a hydrogen atom or a group NR.sup.1R.sup.2 if X represents a CH radical, (Het)Ar is an aromatic ring selected from the group consisting of aryl and heteroaryl groups, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.6 represent, independently of one another, a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a NR.sup.12R.sup.13, a SR.sup.14 group, a OR.sup.14 group or a CF.sub.3 group, When Y is NR.sup.1R.sup.2, the groups NR.sup.1R.sup.2 and (Het)Ar are in the cis-conformation,
or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof,
for use in the treatment of proliferative diseases, infectious diseases, allergies, inflammation and/or asthma.

Hierarchically porous ZSM-5 zeolites, having macropores, mesopores, and micropores are formed using a solid-state crystallization process. An aluminosilicate nanogel prepared with precursors, solvent, and a structure-directing agent is provided. The solvent is evaporated from the aluminosilicate nanogel at room temperature. The dried aluminosilicate nanogel is then heated to promote crystallization. The crystallized zeolites are calcined to remove the structure-directing agent.
