Abstract
The AB ring fragment 4 {6-(3,4-dihydroxy-1-butenyl)-2,3,4,4a,9, 9a-hexahydro-6H-pyrano[3,2-b]oxepin} of ciguatoxin (1), which has a 3,4-dihydroxy-1-butenyl substituent, has been synthesized from the 6-(1,3-butadienyl) bicycle 3 corresponding to the AB ring segment of gambiertoxin 4B (2), a plausible metabolic precursor of 1, through ligand-controlled regioselective additions of osmium tetroxide to double bonds.Keywords
