Abstract

A synthetic approach to the novel fomannosane sesquiterpene natural product illudosin benzene 2 from the diquinane precursor benzene 5, readily available in turn from commercial 1,5- cyclooctadiene, is delineated. The key steps are the stereoselective construction of the cis, anti, cistricyclo$[6.2.0.0^2^,^6]$ decane system, strategic C-C bond disengagement through Baeyer–Villiger oxidation and functional group adjustments to deliver the carbocyclic core benzene 18 present in the natural product.
