The coupling reaction of phenylsulphenyl-, phenylsulphinyl and phenylsulphonyl-pentadienyl metals 3a-g has been studied showing that while 3c-g couple in any case regioselectively and stereoselectively, the coupling of 3a-b is countercation and electrophile dependent.The α-regioisomeric coupling products of phenylsulphenylpentadienyl metals may undergo sigmatropic rearrangement, those of phenylsulphinyl- and phenylsulphonyl-pentadienyl metals give fast double sigmatropic isomerization.

A convergent synthesis of (±)-asteltoxin has been achieved in 16 steps (3.0% overall yield) from 3,4-dimethylfuran. The attachment of the triene pyrone side chain to the bis(tetrahydrofuran) skeleton proceeds by way of the addition of the Corey equivalent to anion 3 to the aldehyde 2 and a subsequent aldol condensation-dehydration reaction of pyrone 4.
TOTAL SYNTHESIS OF 5-DESOXYLEUKOTRIENE D. A NEW AND USEFUL EQUIVALENT OF THE 4-FORMYL-TRANS,TRANS-1,3-BUTADIENYL ANION

The first total synthesis of 5-desoxyleukotriene D (14) is reported.The route of synthesis utilizes a novel method for five-carbon chain extension.The availability of 14 allowed experimental demonstration that the 5-hydroxyl function is important for biological activity of the slow reacting substances.
