In alternative embodiments, provided are industrial processes and methods for extracting or removing cannabinoids, flavonoids and terpenes from plant materials such as trichomes. In alternative embodiments, the cannabinoids, flavonoids and terpenes are extracted or removed from the plant materials using a non-polar, organic solvent, or a mixture of non-polar, organic solvent and polar, organic solvent.

A one pot synthesis of a mixed macrocycle of resorcinol and pyrogallol is disclosed using an acidic catalyst by conventional as well as by microwave assisted methods. Compared with traditional synthesis, the microwave mediated tactic provides a simple, greener route and affords higher compound yields in a shorter period. Moreover, the catalyst can be efficiently reused without any loss in activity.

This invention relates to a process for preparing a calixarene compound by reacting a phenolic compound and an aldehyde in the presence of at least one nitrogen-containing base as a catalyst to form the calixarene compound. The invention also relates to processes for high-yield, high solid-content production of a calixarene compound, with high selectivity toward a high-purity calix[8]arene compound, without carrying out a recrystallization step.
