Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the preparation of synthetic cannabinoid derivatives of Formulae I and II, and compositions made therefrom.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the preparation of a highly pure cannabidiol compound by a novel synthesis route. The cannabidiol compound can be prepared by an acid-catalyzed reaction of a di-halo olivetol with menthadienol, followed by two crystallization steps. The highly pure cannabidiol compound is produced in high yield, stereospecificity, or both, and shows exceedingly low levels of ?-9-tetrahydrocannabinol at the time of preparation and after storage.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a cannabidiol compound and compositions thereof and processes for preparing the compound and compositions. The processes include an acid-catalyzed reaction of a suitably selected and substituted di-bromo-olivetol or derivative thereof with a suitably selected and substituted cyclic alkene to produce a dibromo-cannabidiol compound or derivative thereof. The dibromo-cannabidiol compound or derivative thereof can be produced in high yield, high stereospecificity, or both. It can then be converted under reducing conditions to a cannabidiol compound or derivatives thereof.
