Abstract

The total synthesis of natural (4R,5R)-antillatoxin and its analog (4S,5S)-antillatoxin has been achieved; the optically pure key intermediates were prepared from indium mediated allylation of either primary or secondary allylic bromide with aldehyde in aquoues media, followed by highly selective Luche's reduction and chiral resolution.
