A modular approach to the total synthesis of furaquinocins culminated in the total syntheses of furaquinocin A, B, and E. A Pd-catalyzed dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation (DYKAT) on carbonates derived from Baylis-Hillman adducts, followed by a reductive Heck cyclization allows the enantio- and diastereoselective construction of dihydrobenzofuran 32.
