Developing an efficient, concise synthesis of the fungal natural product illudalic acid has been a long-standing challenge, made more pressing by the recent discovery that illudalic acid and analogs are selective phosphatase inhibitors. Syntheses of illudalic acid have become progressively more efficient over the decades yet remain strategically grounded in a 17-step synthesis reported in 1977. Here we validate a two-step process-convergent [4 + 2] benzannulation and one-pot coordinated function ...[more]
