Abstract
An asymmetric total synthesis of eicosanoid 4 starting from 2,2-dimethyl-(R)-1,3-dioxolane-4- carbaldehyde is described. The key steps involved for the synthesis include modified Simmons- Smith cyclopropanation, stereoselective reduction, ring-closing metathesis (RCM) and Nozaki- Hiyama-Kishi coupling reaction.
