8,11-Dideoxytetrodotoxin, an unnatural tetrodotoxin analogue, was synthesized in a highly stereoselective manner from a common intermediate from our synthetic studies on tetrodotoxin. The key features in the synthesis were as follows: neighboring group participation of a trichloroacetamide to allow regioselective and stereoselective hydroxylation, protection of a delta-hydroxylactone as an ortho ester, and guanidine installation through the use of Boc-protected isothiourea. Global deprotection of the fully protected intermediate under acidic conditions gave 8,11-dideoxytetrodotoxin, which exhibited very weak biological activities.
