First total synthesis of A(2) isoprostane

J Org Chem. 2002 Jun 14;67(12):4346-51. doi: 10.1021/jo025652f.

Abstract

A stereoselective Julia-Lythgoe olefination has allowed the first total synthesis of A(2) isoprostane (1), a recently discovered member of the growing isoprostane family. This elusive compound opens up numerous new avenues for the molecular biology of cyclopentenone prostaglandins, which are endowed of intriguing biological effects such as antitumor, antiinflammatory, and antiviral activities.
