Herein, a new protocol for rapid synthesis of α,β-unsaturated epoxy ketones utilizing a bifunctional sulfonium/phosphonium ylide is described. This approach comprises two sequential chemoselective reactions between sulfonium and phosphonium ylides and two distinct aldehydes, which allows for the rapid construction of a variety of unsymmetric α,β-unsaturated epoxy ketones. This methodology allows the rapid construction of the core reactive functionality of a family of lipid peroxidation products, the epoxyketooctadecenoic acids, but can be further broadly utilized as a useful synthon for the synthesis of natural products, particularly those derived from oxidized fatty acids. Accordingly, a protocol utilizing this approach to synthesize the epoxyketooctadecenoic acid family of molecules is described.

As part of an effort to develop an industrial synthesis of the LTD4 antagonist RG 12525 (1), several approaches to the intermediate (2-quinolinylmethoxy)phenol 3 were investigated that avoided the generation of the lachrymatory sensitizer α-chloro-2-methylquinoline 2. Utilization of a cyclic sulfate in place of α,α'dichloro-o-xylene 4 showed promise as a selective dialkylating agent in the conversion of 3 to RO 12525 (1).
