The first total synthesis of the anti-inflammatory and pro-resolving lipid mediator 16(R),17(S)-diHDHA, derived from docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and its 16-epimer have been achieved. Two synthetic approaches are described for the synthesis of 16(R),17(S)-diHDHA. The first strategy started from DHA and used an enzymatic reaction, a vanadium catalyzed allylic epoxidation and a base-promoted epoxide isomerization. The second approach utilized a chiral pool strategy starting from 2-deoxy-D-ribose to establish the chiral centers; Wittig reactions, mild acetonide cleavage and ester hydrolysis were the key steps in the synthesis.

In order to explore the oxidation mode of lipoxygenase (LOX) obtained from infected rice plants, typical unsaturated fatty acids (3-8) were treated with LOX and oxygen. It was observed that ω-10 and ω-6 positions of unsaturated fatty acids were oxidized predominantly in the cases of exotic ω-6 (4 and 5) and ω-3 (7 and 8) series, respectively. In the case of endogenous fatty acids (3 and 6), oxidation at ω-6 position predominated. All the allylic alcohols obtained by reduction of the oxidation products with NaBH4 possess S-configuration.
