The key building blocks (6, 7, and 8) for the intended construction of the originally proposed structures of azaspiracid-1, a potent marine-derived neurotoxin, were coupled and the products elaborated to the targeted compounds (1a,b) and their C-20 epimers (2 and 3). The assembly of the three intermediates was accomplished by a dithiane-based coupling reaction that united the C-1 - C-20 (7) and C-21 - C-27 (8) fragments, followed by a Stille-type coupling which allowed the incorporation of the C-28 - C-40 fragment (6) into the growing substrate. Neither of the final products (1a,b) matched the natural substance by TLC or H-1 NMR spectroscopic analysis, suggesting one or more errors in the originally proposed structure for this notorious biotoxin.
