Total Synthesis of (−)-Tetrodotoxin from D-Glucose: A New Route to Multi-Functionalized Cyclitol Employing the Ferrier(II) Reaction toward (−)-Tetrodotoxin
Totalsynthesis of (−)-tetrodotoxin (TTX) from D-glucose is described. As a critical transformation step for synthesizing TTX, a key multi-functionalized cyclitol was prepared from D-glucose employ...
