The toxic principle of puffer-fish poison, (-)-tetrodotoxin (1), has been recognized as a formidable synthetic target since its structure elucidation in 1964. An efficient total synthesis of 1 via the intermediate 2, which was used previously for the synthesis of 11-deoxytetrodotoxin, is described.
