Abstract
Concise, divergent total syntheses of five bioactive illudalane sesquiterpenes have been achieved. Our synthesis features an intermolecular [2+2+2] cycloaddition, and a lactone-directed aromatic C-H oxygenation to generate a temporary phenolic hydroxyl group which enables regioselective methylation. Furthermore, the absolute configuration of radulactone was assigned by chemical synthesis.
