A simple and straightforward methodology of general utility to construct sterically encumbered furo[3,2-b]furanone scaffolds present in a diverse range of bioactive natural products is delineated. The methodology emanates from readily available Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts and employs sequential ring closing metathesis and oxy-Michael addition cascade as the key steps.
