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.
