Development of oxidative methodologies and application toward tetrodotoxin core

This thesis covers a novel approach to tetrodotoxin that relies on the oxidative amidation of a phenol and intramolecular nitrile oxide cycloaddition to install a β-hydroxynitrile unit among the key steps. These transformations, and others contained herein, effectively set the tetrasubstituted C-8a...
