Advanced intermediates for the syntheses of tetrodotoxin reported by the groups of Fukuyama, Alonso, and Sato were prepared. Key steps include the toluene dioxygenase mediated dihydroxylation of either iodobenzene or benzyl acetate. The resulting diene diols were transformed into Fukuyama's intermediate in six steps, into Alonso's intermediate in nine steps, and into Sato's intermediate in ten steps.

Total synthesis 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 employing the Ferrier(II) reaction. Stereospecific introduction of three functionalized branched chains were achieved via Peterson olefination and spiro α-chloroepoxidation of the corresponding carbonyl derivatives.
