Abstract
Access to polycyclic polyethers is facilitated by a synthetic strategy involving two-step B-alkyl Suzuki coupling reactions for the stereo-selective construction of the polyether skeleton. Thus, a convergent synthetic route to the heptacyclic GHIJKLM ring system 1 of ciguatoxin, a marine algal toxin implicated in ciguatera fish poisoning, was developed. Bn = benzyl.
