Natural 12S-HHT and its analogues were synthesized for study of structure and activity
relationship toward the BLT2 receptor. The Suzuki–Miyaura coupling was used for construction
of the 8E,10E-diene moiety of 12S-HHT and analogues of (12R)- and 12-keto-types, whereas Wittig reaction was used for the synthesis of (8Z)- and (8Z,12R)-isomers.
Key words
asymmetric synthesis - cross-coupling - HHT - Wittig reaction - Suzuki–Miyaura coupling
