Total synthesis of 8,12-iso-iPF3alpha-VI, an EPA-derived isoprostane: stereoselective introduction of the fifth asymmetric center.
[reaction: see text] A new and stereoselective approach for the synthesis of all-syn isoprostanes is reported. This method, which is based on acid-catalyzed Diels-Alder reaction, allows the introduction of the side chain with a predetermined stereochemistry of the hydroxy group. The first total synthesis of an eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)-derived iP, 8,12-iso-iPF3alpha-VI 10, was performed using this approach.
