Abstract
The total synthesis of LXA4 and LXB4 has been achieved starting from butadiene via palladium catalyzed telomerization. Sharpless catalytic AE and C-2 inversion of the 2(S),3(S)-epoxy alcohols, using Myers CO2/Cs2CO3 procedure, generated the asymmetric centers. The flexibility of the strategy allows an easy access to the linear eicosanoids. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
