β¦ Synopsis
A concise route to the HIJKLM-ring fragment 10 of ciguatoxin (CTX) and 51-hydroxyCTX3C was developed in which oxiranyl anion addition and intramolecular carbonyl olefination were utilized as key transformations. The present procedure requires only 23 steps from the I-ring 5, while 35 steps were employed in a previous synthesis of the corresponding right wing 11 of CTX3C. The high efficiency of the present synthesis ensures a supply of 10 for total synthesis and biomedical applications.

The AB-ring fragment of ciguatoxin was synthesized in ten steps from tri-O-benzyl-D-glucal based on a highly diastereoselective ring-closing metathesis and subsequent cross metathesis.
