Stereoselective total synthesis of the presumed biosynthetic precursor to lipoxins A and B: methyl (7E,9E,11Z,13E,5S,6S,15S)-5,6-epoxy-15-hydroxyicosa-7,9,11,13-tetra-enoate and its 5,6-methano analogue
Abstract
Stereoselective and highly efficient total syntheses of the presumed biosynthetic precursor of lipoxins A and B and its 5,6-methano analogue are described.
