Resolvin E1 (RvE1), which is an endogenous mediator to resolve inflammation, was synthesized by Wittig reaction between the C15-C20 aldehyde and the C10-C14 phosphonium salt possessing the vinyl iodo moiety followed by Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of the resulting vinyl iodide with the vinyl borane of th

β¦ Synopsis
The enantioselective total synthesis of Resolvin E1 (RvE1), a naturally occurring small molecule mediator of inflammation resolution, is reported. Two routes are presented, both modular and convergent in nature, with an excellent control of all stereocenters. The C12-and C18-hydroxy groups are derived from (S)glycidol while the C5-hydroxy group is installed via enantioselective reduction of a ketone precursor. Both the cis-alkenes are introduced with excellent control by the reduction of a late-stage bis-alkyne intermediate. The synthetic disconnections are very amenable to analog preparation, and further modifications to the chemistry have allowed for scale-up and First in Man testing of this novel pro-resolution molecule.

Resolvin E2 (2) was synthesized stereoselectively using the C1-8 and C15-20 aldehydes 6 and 9, which were connected to the C9-14 fragment by using Wittig reactions. The aldehyde 6 was prepared from the c-silyl alcohol (S)-20 by a sequence of reactions involving ozonolysis, oxidation with NaIO 4 , an
Methyl ll-tert-butyldimethylsilyloxyeicosa-8~Z),l2~E),l4(E)trienoate was stereoselectively cyclized by treatment with Hg(OCOCF3j2 to give a properly functionalized PG skeleton, which was converted to PGEl in good over all yield.
