Here, we report a three-step concise and stereoselective synthesis route to one of the most important phytocannabinoids, namely, (-)-cannabidiol (-CBD), from inexpensive and readily available starting material R-(+)-limonene. The synthesis involved the diastereoselective bifunctionalization of limonene, followed by effective elimination leading to the generation of key chiral p-mentha-2,8-dien-1-ol. The chiral p-mentha-2,8-dien-1-ol on coupling with olivetol under silver catalysis provided regiospecific (-)-CBD, contrary to reported ones which gave a mixture. The newly developed approach was further extended to its structural analogues cannabidiorcin and other tail/terpenyl-modified analogues. Moreover, its opposite isomer (+)-cannabidiol was also successfully synthesized from S-(-)-limonene.

Here we report the first example in which the phenylseleno group is directly substituted by a hydroxy function. The reaction is promoted by the PhSeOSO3H generated "in situ" by oxidation of (PhSe)2 with (NH4)2S2O8 at reflux in a 3:1 mixture of MeCN-H2O. I
TRANS 1,2-FUNCTIONALIZATION OF CYCLOALKENES USING SELENIUM INTERMEDIATES

The reaction of excess phenylselenenyl halides with trisubstituted cyclic olefins in aqueous acetonitrile is regio- and stereospecific and affords trans halohydrins in excellent yields.The reaction proceeds through the formation of a β-hydroxyalkyl phenyl selenide which evolves to halohydrin presumably via an epoxy-intermediate.
