Abstract

Leukotriene B4 (LTB4)(1) was synthesized from two chiral propargylic alcohols 2 and 3 obtained by enantioselective enzymatic hydrolysis and enantiogenic microbial reduction, respectively. Condenaation of these two synthons using a rapid and reproducible method not involving a Wittig reaction led to a compound with identical biological activity to that of natural LTBI.
