Total stereospecific synthesis of EPA has been performed by a sequence of ozonolysis, selective reduction and Wittig reactions which affords the cis-skipped olefinic system.Versatile compound 4, readily prepared from dihydro anisole, allowed us to prepare the skipped dienic synthon 2 in high yield.Key Words: All cis-eicosapentanoic acid, EPA, cis-Wittig reaction, Ozonolysis.
