The first synthesis of (±)-wilforonide has been completed in ten steps from commercially available starting materials. A high-yielding monomethylation of a reactive ketone enolate, a regioselective α-annulation of an unactivated α-substituted cyclohexanone, and a selective hydrogenation of the resulting unsaturated keto ester were key steps in the synthesis.
