We present a total synthesis of the fungal natural product graphislactone G, a chlorinated resorcylic lactone. The key step is a Suzuki coupling used for the construction of the central biaryl bond. Graphislactone G was prepared in 13 steps with 22% yield starting with orcinol and phloroglucinic acid, where the longest linear sequence consists of nine steps. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
