Abstract Asymmetric total synthesis of (−)-perforanoid A, a novel limonoid isolated from the leaves of Harrisonia perforata, has been achieved. The key features of our total synthesis include the Rh-catalyzed intramolecular Pauson–Khand reaction of an allene and an alkene, the Pd-catalyzed lactonization of an allylic alcohol with a vinyl ether, and the enantioselective alkenylation of 3-furaldehyde.
