Abstract
The specifics: A synthesis of the sesquiterpenoid antibiotic (+)-hongoquercin A using sequential site-specific C-H methylation and oxidation reactions is described. A key advancement toward this goal was the development of a ligand-accelerated C-H methylation reaction, and enabled the generation of a library of eight structurally diverse analogues.
