An efficient synthesis of propolisbenzofuran B, which possesses promising anticancer activity, is reported. The key cyclohexanone framework of this tricyclic natural product has been constructed employing a Rh-catalyzed intramolecular olefin hydroacylation. The requisite key olefin intermediate was synthesized by using gold-catalyzed allenyl ether [1,3] O → C rearrangement.
