Synthesis of (2E,4E)-dienals by double formyl-olefination with an arsonium salt and its application in the syntheses of lipoxygenase metabolites of arachidonic acid
A new facile route to (2E,4E)-dienals by a double formyl-olefination with arsoniumsalts has been developed. By this method and with other arsonium reagents in the key step some lipoxygenase metabolites of arachidonic acid, lipoxin A4 and B4 and leukotriene B4, have been synthesized.

A total convergent synthesis of lipoxins A4 and B4 has been carried out via four optically pure α-hydroxy and α,β-dihydroxyaldehydes, obtained from D-isoascorbic acid as a single starting material. Connection by a six carbons unit uses Wittig-type reactions notably involving a stabilized arsonium ylide.
