Talk:Diapocynin

Is Diapocynin a dimer?

I thought dimers had to be two molecules linked together by breaking a double/triple to form a new bond or link together by just forming a bond without breaking a new bond. Diapocynin breaks a single bond (the C-H bond) and eliminates an H2. I feel like it would be calling butane a dimer of ethane, or acetic anhydride an dimer of acetic acid. Or is it acceptable to call it a dimer like how cellobiose is sometimes called a dimer of glucose despite having an H2O less than two glucose molecules? Uxleumas (talk) 04:10, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
