[reaction: see text] The first total synthesis of 5,6,11-trideoxytetrodotoxin (1) and its 4-epimer were achieved. The synthesis is characterized by the stereoselective construction of the quaternary amino carbon center at C8a by an asymmetric transferring Strecker synthesis and the highly efficient conversion of cyanohydrin 4 to 1 via intramolecular cyclization reactions.
