Abstract | A formal total synthesis of (+/-)-tetrodotoxin that relies on the bimolecular oxidative amidation of a phenol is described, and a structural correction of the Sato lactone, an important tetrodotoxin intermediate, is provided. This work lays the foundation for an ultimate enantioselective synthesis. |
