8-Membered cyclic ethers are found in a wide range of natural products; however, they are challenging synthetic targets due to enthalpic and entropic barriers. The gold(I)-catalyzed intramolecular dehydrative alkoxylation of ω-hydroxy allylic alcohols was explored to stereoselectively construct α,α'-cis-oxocenes and further applied in a formal synthesis of (+)-laurencin. The gold(I)-catalyzed intramolecular dehydrative alkoxylation may constitute an alternative method for the synthesis of molecular building blocks and natural products that contain highly functionalized 8-membered cyclic ethers.
