title: Progress toward the total synthesis of ciguatoxins: a convergent synthesis of the FGHIJKLM ring fragment.
abstract: [structure: see text] A highly convergent synthetic route to the FGHIJKLM ring fragment of ciguatoxins has been developed, which relied on extensive use of the B-alkyl Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction.
