Stereo-controlled synthesis of prostaglandins F-2a and E-2 (dl)

Stereo-controlled synthesis of prostaglandins F-2a and E-2 (dl)

E J Corey et al. J Am Chem Soc. .

Abstract

PIP: A new approach to the synthesis of prostaglandins, designed with the following objectives in mind, is reported. The objectives were: 1) control of stereochemistry; 2) the synthesis of all of the primary prostaglandins and a variety of analogs from a single precursor; and 3) optical resolution at an early stage. The fifteenth synthesis step yielded dl-prostaglandin F2 alpha identical to the natural hormone. Step by step routes of synthesis and stereochemistry are depicted in the text.
