The first total synthesis of a natural prenylflavanone, (±)-kenusanone B (1) has been achieved by condensation of acetophenone 4 and benzaldehyde 6 followed by cyclization and deprotection. Chloromethyl methyl ether was used as a facile protecting reagent of free hydroxy groups for the synthesis of polyhydroxylated flavanones.
