Stereoselective synthesis of oxylipin-3: [(6R,9R,10R,7E)-6,9,10-trihydroxyoctadec-7-enoic acid]

The enantioselective synthesis of oxylipin-3 has been carried out. The synthetic strategy was started from commercially available n-decanal. The chiral source was based on Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation and CBS reduction.
