The fully functionalized A-F fragment of the Pacific ciguatoxin CTX3C has been synthesized from a derivative of D-glucal, which serves as the B-ring. Rings A and C were introduced to either side of ring B by ring-closing diene and enyne metathesis (RCM). The seven-membered D-ring and eight-membered E-ring were assembled by iterative use of a six-step reaction sequence in which RCM was used for ring construction and Tsuji-Trost allylation was employed for subsequent stereoselective functionalization. The nine-membered F-ring was formed by use of an RCM reaction and bears the functionality required for attachment of the I-M fragment and subsequent closure of rings G and H.
