The present disclosure provides novel selective phosphatase inhibitor compounds based on illudalic acid. The present disclosure provides a streamlined method of synthesizing illudalic acid and a method for synthesizing phosphatase inhibitor compounds. The method of this invention provides convergent benzannulation of β-keto amides and esters, followed by a one-pot reduction/hydrolysis sequence. The concise synthetic approach provided by this invention enables rapid assembly of illudalog compounds of this invention that are potent protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor-type D (PTPRD) inhibitors.

The present disclosure, in at least certain embodiments, is directed to shikimate (shikimic acid) analogues and compositions thereof, devices and kits which contain the shikimate analogues or compositions thereof, and methods of use of the compounds and compositions for treating and neutralizing irritant or odoriferous compounds on animate or inanimate surfaces or in atmospheres.

Amide compounds are disclosed. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds as well as methods of treating neurodegenerative diseases that involve administering the compounds or pharmaceutical compositions to a subject.
