The first enantioselective synthesis of the optically pure (R)- and (S)-5,5''-dihydroxy-4',4''',7,7''-tetramethoxy-8,8''- biflavone is described. The key steps involve the intramolecular oxidative coupling of the cyanocuprate intermediate and Friedel-Crafts rearrangement. Their absolute configuration was reconfirmed by CD spectra.
