A total synthesis of the naturally occurring hydroxy ketone PEIPC 1, a compound that plays a
role in endothelial activation in atherosclerosis, has been completed via a triply convergent
preparation of a protected EI derivative 13 from 3, 5-diacetoxycyclopentene 7, pentane-1, 5-
diol, and vinyllithium, using Sharpless epoxidation and enzymatic resolution as key steps.
Final coupling with lyso-PC 16 and silyl group deprotection gave PECPC 2 and PEIPC 1,
which showed the same activity as natural PECPC and PEIPC.
