✦ Synopsis
A stereocontrolled and practical synthetic route to the acetal 2a, a degradation product of palytoxin, in optically active form is described.
Palytoxin, the toxic principle isolated from marine soft corals of the genus Palythoa, is the most poisonous substance known to date, except for a few polypeptides and proteins found in bacteria and plants.
Pioneering investigations by the Hawaii group2 and by the Naqoya group3 recently led them independently to suggest the gross structure 1 for palytoxin. 4 Related to our -
