Herein we report the first total synthesis of RvD2<sub>n-3 DPA</sub> , an endogenously formed mediator biosynthesized from the omega-3 fatty acid n-3 docosapentaenoic acid. The key steps are the Midland Alpine borane reduction, Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions, and a Z-selective alkyne reduction protocol, yielding RvD2<sub>n-3 DPA</sub> methyl ester in 13 % yield over 12 steps (longest linear sequence). The physical property data (UV chromophore, chromatography and MS/MS fragmentation) of th ...[more]
