Abstract

A practical stereoselective synthesis of (S)‐bakuchiol (1) and its enantiomer is reported. The important intermediate, (R)‐configured β‐siloxy aldehyde 5, was obtained in three steps from the easily available material geraniol (2) via the key step of Yamamoto's rearrangement of epoxy silyl ethers. (S)‐Bakuchiol (1) and its enantiomer, (R)‐bakuchiol (17), were finally obtained in different synthetic sequences with overall yields of 51% (ten steps) and 40% (nine steps) from geraniol (2), respectively.
