The first synthesis of the 5,5‐difluoro‐(12 R )‐ and ‐(12 S )‐leukotrienes B 3 is reported which uses a flexible and convergent strategy. The key steps involve a Sonogashira coupling between the bromodienone 4 and the propargylic difluoride 5 ; this is followed by a CBS type reduction to establish the (12 R ) or (12 S ) stereocenters. A final semihydrogenation, under controlled conditions, affords the required E,E,Z trienic system. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2005)
