Possible mechanism of ether ring formation in fused-ring polyethers. (A) The syn–trans pattern of fused polyether ring formation. A polyene produced by PKS undergoes epoxidation and epoxide cyclization to form a fused polyether. (B) Proposed mechanism of ciguatoxins (CTXs) polyether ring formation.
