Working on Tetrahydrocannabinol, I noticed THC has a lot of isomers. Minus signs, capital deltas, superscript, & italic hyphenated chemical indicators are all really hard to type without messing up, so I made this as a typing aid for quick, formatted notation of isomers of various chiral centers of the cannabinoid family.
Usage
I grabbed examples from THC and noticed there were chiral centers notation, (−)/(+) notation, and (R,S) notation. I focused on writing the script, so am probably getting the terminology wrong. Anyway, I coded support for all of them depending on the parameters given and content in them. It takes up to three:
| Parameter 1 | Parameter 2 | Parameter 3 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chiral center | bridge (optional); if not present uses superscript | superscript (required) | none |
| (−)/(+) notation | (-)† or (+) (required) | bridge (required) | superscript (required) |
| (R),(S) notation | (R) or (S) (required) | bridge (optional); if not present uses superscript | superscript (required) |
†hyphens are acceptable
Examples
- Chiral center only
{{DeltaTHC|9}}becomes Δ9-transhydrocannabinol
- (+)/(−) notation
{{DeltaTHC|-|trans|9}}becomes (−)-trans-Δ9-transhydrocannabinol{{DeltaTHC|+|cis|8a}}becomes (+)-cis-Δ8a-transhydrocannabinol
- (R/S) notation with and chiral centers
{{DeltaTHC|6a,10a}}becomes Δ6a,10a-transhydrocannabinol{{DeltaTHC|6aR,10aR|9}}becomes 6aR,10aR-Δ9-transhydrocannabinol{{DeltaTHC|6aR,10aR|trans|9}}becomes 6aR,10aR-Δ9-transhydrocannabinol
Closing notes
May not be useful, since {{DELTA}}, {{sup}}, and − exist as alternatives. Open to suggestions (message me or fix it yourself). If you see this in the future not being used, go head and delete it ‑‑ meteor_sandwich_yum (talk)
