Direct preparation of (Z,Z)-1,4-dienic units with a new C6 homologating agent: Synthesis of α-linolenic acid
Sandri,Viala
, p. 271 - 275 (1995)
Syntheses of two C6 homologating agents 2a and 2f are described. These agents allow direct access to the (Z,Z)-1,4-diene unit 3, a moiety present in a wide number of natural compounds. Compound 2a is prepared in 40% overall yield by selective epoxidation of methoxycyclohexa-1,4-diene followed by oxidative ring cleavage and transatalization. Compound 2f is obtained in 90% yield by a one-step oxidative dimerization of phosphonium salt 1. A short synthetic application of these two new C6 homologating agents to the synthesis of α-linolenic acid is described.
Pheromone synthesis. Part 257: Synthesis of methyl (2E,4Z,7Z)-2,4,7-decatrienoate and methyl (E)-2,4,5-tetradecatrienoate, the pheromone components of the male dried bean beetle, Acanthoscelides obtectus (Say)

Tandem Dess-Martin oxidation/Wittig reaction of (2Z,5Z)-2,5-octadien-1-ol yielded methyl (2E,4Z,7Z)-2,4,7-decatrienoate, a newly discovered pheromone component of the male dried bean beetle, while that of (±)-2,3-dodecadien-1-ol gave (±)-methyl (E)-2,4,5-tetradecatrienoate, the racemate of the known and major pheromone component. Methyl (2E,4E,7Z)-2,4,7-decatrienoate was also synthesized, which is the methyl ester of an acid metabolite of a green alga. Reduction of 2,5-octadiyn-1-ol with Zn-Cu/EtOH cleanly gave (2Z,5Z)-2,5-octadien-1-ol.

Maresin is a potent anti-inflammatory lipid mediator derived from docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). A highly convergent total synthesis of two proposed structures of C7-epimeric maresins from the four known fragments was achieved in 17 steps. The three key coupling reactions were the BF3-mediated alkyne attack on the epoxide, chiral titanium complex-promoted enantioselective alkyne addition to the aldehyde, and a Julia-Kocienski olefination. The two synthesized diastereomers were found to be comparably active in blocking neutrophil infiltration in the acute peritonitis model. Copyright
