Abstract
Tetrodotoxin and congeners are specific voltage-gated sodium channel blockers that exhibit remarkable anesthetic and analgesic effects. Here, we present a scalable asymmetric syntheses of Tetrodotoxin and 9-epiTetrodotoxin from the abundant chemical feedstock furfuryl alcohol. The optically pure cyclohexane skeleton is assembled via a stereoselective Diels-Alder reaction. The dense heteroatom substituents are established sequentially by a series of functional group interconversions on highly oxygenated cyclohexane frameworks, including a chemoselective cyclic anhydride opening, and a decarboxylative hydroxylation. An innovative SmI2-mediated concurrent fragmentation, an oxo-bridge ring opening and ester reduction followed by an Upjohn dihydroxylation deliver the highly oxidized skeleton. Ruthenium-catalyzed oxidative alkyne cleavage and formation of the hemiaminal and orthoester under acidic conditions enable the rapid assembly of Tetrodotoxin, anhydro-Tetrodotoxin, 9-epiTetrodotoxin, and 9-epi lactone-Tetrodotoxin.

Abstract
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a neurotoxic natural product that is an indispensable probe in neuroscience, a biosynthetic and ecological enigma, and a celebrated target of synthetic chemistry. Here, we present a stereoselective synthesis of TTX that proceeds in 22 steps from a glucose derivative. The central cyclohexane ring of TTX and its α-tertiary amine moiety were established by the intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of a nitrile oxide, followed by alkynyl addition to the resultant isoxazoline. A ruthenium-catalyzed hydroxylactonization set the stage for the formation of the dioxa-adamantane core. Installation of the guanidine, oxidation of a primary alcohol, and a late-stage epimerization gave a mixture of TTX and anhydro-TTX. This synthetic approach could give ready access to biologically active derivatives.

Abstract
This review deals with the synthesis of naturally occurring alkaloids containing partially or completely saturated pyrimidine nuclei. The interest in these compounds is associated with their structural diversity, high biological activity and toxicity. The review is divided into four parts, each of which describes a number of synthetic methodologies toward structurally different naturally occurring alkaloids containing saturated cyclic six-membered amidine, guanidine, aminal and urea (thiourea) moieties, respectively. The development of various synthetic strategies for the preparation of these compounds has remarkably increased during the past few decades. This is primarily due to the fact that some of these compounds are isolated only in limited quantities, which makes it practically impossible to study their full structural characteristics and biological activity.

Abstract
Benzenoids in principle represent attractive and abundant starting materials for the preparation of substituted cyclohexanes; however, the synthetic tools available for overcoming the considerable aromatic energies inherent to these building blocks limit the available product types. In this paper, we demonstrate access to heretofore unknown heterotricyclic structures by leveraging oxidative dearomatization of 2-hydroxymethyl phenols with concurrent N-hydroxycarbamate dehydrogenation using a common oxidant. The pairwise-generated, mutually reactive species then participate in a second stage acylnitroso Diels-Alder cycloaddition. The reaction chemistry of the derived [2.2.2]-oxazabicycles, bearing four orthogonal functional groups and three stereogenic centers, is shown to yield considerable diversity in downstream products. The methodology allows for the expeditious synthesis of a functionalized intermediate bearing structural and stereochemical features in common with the complex alkaloid tetrodotoxin.

Abstract
This report describes the stereocontrolled total synthesis of the multi-functionalized cyclitol derivative, tetrodotoxin, containing eight asymmetric carbons and different types of branched-chains, from myo-inositol and D-glucose using three different methods. The tetrodotoxin derivatives possess a relatively small molecular weight but unique structural and chemical properties. Selection of the appropriate synthetic method may be useful not only for compounds related to TTX (including related derivatives), but also for other highly complex multi-functionalized cyclitols containing branched-chains.

Abstract
Naturally occurring guanidine derivatives frequently display medicinally useful properties. Among them, the higher order pyrrole-imidazole alkaloids, the dragmacidins, the crambescidins/batzelladines, and the saxitoxins/tetradotoxins have stimulated the development of many new synthetic methods over the past decades. We provide here an overview of the syntheses of these cyclic guanidine-containing natural products.

Stereocontrolled Total Synthesis of Tetrodotoxin from myo-Inositol and D-Glucose by Three Routes: Aspects for Constructing Complex Multi-Functionalized Cyclitols with Branched-Chain Structures.

Abstract
This report describes the stereocontrolled total synthesis of the multi-functionalized cyclitol derivative tetrodotoxin containing eight asymmetric carbons and different types of branched-chains from myo-inositol and D-glucose using three different methods. The tetrodotoxin derivatives possess a relatively small molecular weight but unique structural and chemical properties. Selection of the appropriate synthetic method may be useful not only for compounds related to TTX (including related derivatives) but also for other highly complex multi-functionalized cyclitols containing branched-chains.

Abstract
We describe an improved synthesis of (-)-5,11-dideoxytetrodotoxin from an enone, which was used for synthesis of tetrodotoxin and its analogues in this laboratory. One of the major modifications was to establish a two-step guanidinylation of trichloroacetamide of a highly functionalized intermediate, which allowed us to prepare (15)N(2)-labeled 5,11-dideoxytetrodotoxin for biosynthetic investigations.

Abstract
In many respects tetrodotoxin (TTX) is the quintessential natural toxin. It is unequivocally toxic to mammals with LD(50) values for mice in the range of 10 μg/kg (intraperitoneal), 16 μg/kg (subcutaneous), and 332 μg/kg (oral) (Kao, 1966). Its biothreat status is recognized by its listing as a "Select Agent" by the US Department of Health and Human Services which includes regulated agents "determined to have the potential to pose a severe threat to both human and animal health" (http://www.selectagents.gov/). It has a well-defined cellular target (i.e., NaV channels) and pharmacological mode of action (i.e., block of nerve and muscle action potentials), and it is an indispensable chemical tool in neuroscience. It is widely distributed in marine and terrestrial ecosystems where it plays a role in the chemical ecology of predator-prey relationships and drives evolutionary selection of TTX-resistance (Hanifin, 2010; Williams, 2010; Zimmer and Ferrer, 2007). Lastly, TTX has acquired a certain mystique in scientific lore attributable to many fascinating aspects of its natural history and molecular interactions as presented in selected summary below. Additional information may be found in other excellent reviews (Fozzard and Lipkind, 2010; Kao, 1966; Lee and Ruben, 2008; Narahashi, 2001, 2008).

Abstract
2-Methoxymethylpyrrolidine best performed, among several other proline derivatives, to control the enantioselective [3+3] annulation of β-(hetero)aryl-α-nitro-α,β-enals with commercial 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-5-one, a procedure that renders highly oxygenated nitrocyclohexanes endowed with five new stereocenters. Use of this reaction allowed the development of a total synthesis of the antitumoral natural product (+)-pancratistatin; it also converted our previous racemic route to tetrodotoxin into an enantioselective one.
