A library of eight 5-F-2-isoprostanes was prepared through a ring-opening metathesis/cross-metathesis protocol between functionalized bicyclo[3.2.0]heptenes, ethylene, and alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones. This sequence provided racemic enones in a regio- and stereoselective fashion that could be converted to enantiomerically enriched allylic alcohols through a catalyst-controlled asymmetric reduction. Completion of the sidechains, followed by global deprotection, resulted in a stereodivergent route to eight enantiomerically enriched 5-F-2 isoprostanes. Overall, the synthesis of this library of known and anticipated lipid oxidation metabolites was achieved in 10 steps from commercially available 4-hydroxy-2-cyclopentenone.

been synthesized. Such compounds are derivedfrom the action of reactive oxygen species on the phospholipid-bound polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), adrenicacid and eicosapentaenoic acid, respectively. Of special interest are the F2-dihomo-isoprostanes because they could represent potential biomarkers for myelin damage as its main PUFA constituent is adrenicacid. Our strategy, based on a pivotal enantiomerically
