Abstract: | An asymmetric synthesis of the fugu fish poison, (-)-tetrodotoxin, is described. The route to this extraordinary target employs a number of unique transformations, foremost of which are two stereospecific C-H bond functionalization reactions. Accordingly, Rh-catalyzed carbene and nitrene C-H insertions facilitate rapid entry to the cyclohexane core of the natural product and make possible the late-stage installation of the tetrasubstituted carbinolamine center. |
