The discovery and development of approaches toward the synthesis of cannabidiol (CBD), which has an increasing meaning as a medicine, have arisen from the successful extraction of Cannabis plants for cannabinoid fermentation in brewer's yeast. To understand different contributions to the design and enhancement of the synthesis of CBD and its key intermediates, a detailed analysis of the history behind cannabinoid compounds and their optimization is given in the Review by R.O.M.A. de Souza et al. on page 5577.
