Partial Synthesis of Ciguatoxin, an A/B/C Fragment

Abstract
Synthesis of A/B/C Fragments of ciguatoxin was achieved from a glucose derivative in an optically active form. The key steps were C-glucosidation of silyl acetylene to D-xylal and the cation cyclization through the acetylene biscobalthexacarbonyl complex.
