Pheromone synthesis. Part 257: Synthesis of methyl (2E,4Z,7Z)-2,4,7-decatrienoate and methyl (E)-2,4,5-tetradecatrienoate, the pheromone components of the male dried bean beetle, Acanthoscelides obtectus (Say)

Tandem Dess-Martin oxidation/Wittig reaction of (2Z,5Z)-2,5-octadien-1-ol yielded methyl (2E,4Z,7Z)-2,4,7-decatrienoate, a newly discovered pheromone component of the male dried bean beetle, while that of (±)-2,3-dodecadien-1-ol gave (±)-methyl (E)-2,4,5-tetradecatrienoate, the racemate of the known and major pheromone component. Methyl (2E,4E,7Z)-2,4,7-decatrienoate was also synthesized, which is the methyl ester of an acid metabolite of a green alga. Reduction of 2,5-octadiyn-1-ol with Zn-Cu/EtOH cleanly gave (2Z,5Z)-2,5-octadien-1-ol.

Maresin is a potent anti-inflammatory lipid mediator derived from docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). A highly convergent total synthesis of two proposed structures of C7-epimeric maresins from the four known fragments was achieved in 17 steps. The three key coupling reactions were the BF3-mediated alkyne attack on the epoxide, chiral titanium complex-promoted enantioselective alkyne addition to the aldehyde, and a Julia-Kocienski olefination. The two synthesized diastereomers were found to be comparably active in blocking neutrophil infiltration in the acute peritonitis model. Copyright
Antioxidant behaviour of thia fatty acids

Eight thia fatty acids and other sulfides have been studied as inhibitors of autoxidation of arachidonic acid. The inhibitors extend the lag phase of the oxidation, to varying degrees. A carboxyl group in the vicinity of the sulfur reduces the antioxidant activity, while unsaturated sulfides are more effective than their saturated analogues. The results are consistent with the sulfides acting to reduce fatty acid hydroperoxides, which otherwise accumulate during the early stages of reaction and propagate the free-radical oxidation process.
