Abstract

A short total synthesis of ajoene, (E,Z )‐4,5,9‐trithiadodeca‐1,6,11‐triene 9‐oxide, has been achieved over six steps. In addition, a continuous flow synthesis under mild reaction conditions to (E,Z )‐4,5,9‐trithiadodeca‐1,7,11‐triene is described starting from simple and easily accessible starting materials. Over four steps including propargylation, radical addition of thioacetate, deprotection, and disulfide formation/ allylation, the target product can be obtained at a rate of 0.26 g h−1 in an overall yield of 12 %.
