An unprecedented palladium(II)-catalyzed ortho-alkylation of N-methoxybenzamide with epoxides was utilized in the total synthesis of the isochroman natural product (-)-berkelic acid. By combining this strategy with a well-documented spiroacetalization cascade reaction, (-)-berkelic acid was obtained with an overall yield of 13.9% and the longest linear sequence of 11 steps. Preliminary biological studies on the synthesized natural product and its analogues were also conducted.
