摘要: Ciguatoxins, the principal causative agents of ciguatera seafood poisoning, are extremely large polycyclic ethers. We report herein a reliable route for constructing left wing CTX1B, which possesses acid/base/oxidant-sensitive bisallylic ether moiety, by 6-exo radical cyclization/ring-closing metathesis strategy. This new enabled us to achieve second-generation total synthesis CTX1B and first 54-deoxyCTX1B.
