Synthesis of A/B/C Fragments of ciguatoxin was achieved from a glucose derivative in an optically active form. The key steps were C-glucosidation of silyl acetylene to D-xylal and the cation cyclization through the acetylene biscobalthexacarbonyl complex.

Title compound was synthesized in an optically active form via such key steps as C-glucosidation of silylacetylene to D-xylal and cation cyclization through the acetylene biscobalthexacarbonyl complex.
