Resolvins D3 and E1 are important signaling molecules in the resolution of inflammation. Here, we report a convergent and flexible strategy to prepare these natural products using Hiyama-Denmark coupling of five- and six-membered cyclic alkenylsiloxanes to connect three resolvin fragments, and control the stereochemistry of the natural product ( Z )-alkenes. The modular nature of this approach enables the synthesis of novel resolvin hybrids, opening up opportunities for more-extensive investigations of resolvin biology.
