The recent discovery of the new family of compounds, named leukotrienes because of their origin from leukocytes and a structural characteristic, the conjugated triene, has significantly increased our knowledge of arachidonic acid metabolism.This review will focus on the chemistry leading to the complete stereochemical elucidation of the leukotrienes, as well as more recent synthetic advances.
