1,2-Didehydro-3-oxo-THCO is a synthetic cannabinoid, meaning it is not naturally occurring but is instead created in a laboratory. It is a derivative of THC, meaning it is structurally similar to THC but has been chemically modified. The "1,2-Didehydro" part of its name refers to the removal of two hydrogen atoms from the 1 and 2 positions of the THC molecule, and the "3-oxo" part refers to the addition of a double-bonded oxygen atom at the 3 position.
