Chemoenzymatic asymmetric total synthesis of the (Z)-isomer of the naturally occurring decanolide cytospolides D, E and six stereoisomers is reported. The main highlight of the synthetic venture involves ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reaction of a suitably functionalized ester compound, which was assembled by the Yamaguchi coupling of the required acid and alcohol fragments. The alcohol fragment was accessed by two alternative chemoenzymatic processes, one being hydroxynitrile lyase mediated hydrocyanation, whereas lipase-catalyzed transesterification was the key sep in the second route. The acid fragment was constructed by an enantioselective enzymatic desymmetrization (EED) of prochiral 2-methyl-1,3-propanediol and Corey-Bakshi-Shibata (CBS) mediated stereoselective carbonyl reduction.

A new facile route to (2E,4E)-dienals by a double formyl-olefination with arsonium salts has been developed. By this method and with other arsonium reagents in the key step some lipoxygenase metabolites of arachidonic acid, lipoxin A4 and B4 and leukotriene B4, have been synthesized.
