A facile and general synthetic strategy for saxitoxin derivatives has been developed, as exemplified by the efficient synthesis of (−)‐decarbamoyloxysaxitoxin ((−)‐doSTX), the putative enantiomer of the natural product, in 17 steps and in 10 % overall yield. The synthesis features a diastereoselective 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition and a direct oxidation with o ‐iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX; see scheme, Cbz=benzyloxycarbonyl).
