Synthesis of (S,5Z,8E,10E)-12-Hydroxyheptadeca-5,8,10-trienoic Acid (12S-HHT) and its Analogues

Abstract

Natural 12S-HHT and its analogues were synthesized for study of structure and activity relationship toward the BLT2 receptor. The Suzuki–Miyaura coupling was used for construction of the 8E,10E-diene moiety of 12S-HHT and analogues of (12R)- and 12-keto-types, whereas Wittig reaction was used for the synthesis of (8Z)- and (8Z,12R)-isomers.

Key words

asymmetric synthesis - cross-coupling - HHT - Wittig reaction - Suzuki–Miyaura coupling

• 13 The Noyori reduction of acetylene ketone i afforded alcohol ii with 96% ee by chiral HPLC of the derived benzoate. However, hydrostannation of the TBDPS ether iii under radical- (AIBN) or PdCl₂(PPh₃)₂-catalyzed conditions followed by iodination gave a mixture of (S)-7, the cis-isomer, and the regioisomer (Scheme 3).
