A novel strategy is described for the synthesis of beta,gamma-unsaturated a
ldehydes which are the useful synthons for the synthesis of arachidonic aci
d and other eicosanoid products. These beta,gamma-unsaturated aldehydes hav
e been used in the total synthesis of arachidonic acid. (C) 1999 Elsevier S
