The first total synthesis of moracin O and moracin P, and establishment of the absolute configuration of moracin O.

The first total synthesis of the naturally occurring benzofurans, moracins O and P was achieved using a Sonogashira cross coupling reaction followed by in situ cyclization, and the absolute configuration of natural moracin O was established.
