β¦ Synopsis
An expedient preparation of ll(R,S)-HETE which may be adapted to the synthesis of 11(S)-HETE is described.
Corey and Kang' recently described the synthesis of 11(R)-HETE (s), which could serve as a precursor to the corresponding hydroperoxide 14 or peroxy-radical Is, substances implicated in prostaglandin biosynthesis'.
We wish to report an alternate synthesis of ll(R,S)-HETE, which, since glycidol is available as the R isomer3, constitutes a formal synthesis of S-s, the enantiomer of opposite configuration to that described by Corey, and probably a better precursor for the preparation of 11(R)-HPETE.
To suitably protected propargyl alcohol 1 _4 (60 nun011 in THF (60 ml) at 5' was added first n-butyllithium (55 mmol) and then glycidol derivative 2 5

The first total synthesis of (1 lR, 12s) diHETE IS reported. The key step is the highly chemioand stereaselective osmylation of a double bond in a trienyne system selectively complexed by an Fe(CO)3 group.
