(−)‐Cannabidiol ((−)‐CBD), a non‐psychoactive phytocannabinoid from Cannabis , and its structural analogs have received growing attention in recent years because of their potential therapeutic benefits, including neuroprotective, anti‐epileptic, anti‐inflammatory, anxiolytic, and anti‐cancer properties. (−)‐CBD and its analogs have been obtained mainly based on extraction from the natural source; however, the conventional extraction‐based methods have some drawbacks, such as poor quality control along with purification difficulty. Chemical‐synthetic strategies for (−)‐CBD could tackle these issues, and, additionally, generate novel (−)‐CBD analogs that exhibit advanced biological activities. This review concisely summarizes the historic and recent milestones in the synthetic strategies for (−)‐CBD and its analogs.
