Synthesis of the eight enantiomerically pure diastereomers of the 12-F-2-isoprostanes
Syntheses of the eight enantiomerically pure diastereomers of the 12-F-2-isoprostanes (4-11) are described. The key steps included rhodium-mediated intramolecular cyclopropanation and enzymatic resolution of the racemic diol 12.
