Abstract
The preparation of an advanced intermediate toward the enantioselective synthesis of tetrodotoxin is outlined. The enantiomerically pure cyclopentene 15 was generated from ketone 14 by alkylidene carbene insertion with retention of absolute configuration. An ozonolysis/aldol sequence first produced the trans cyclohexenone, which upon epimerization gave the more stable cis enone 18.Entities:
