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.
