Synthesis of prostaglandin and phytoprostane B1 via regioselective intermolecular Pauson-Khand reactions.
2009
A new approach to the synthesis of prostaglandin and phytoprostanes B1 is described. The key step is an intermolecular Pauson−Khand reaction between a silyl-protected propargyl acetylene and ethylene. This reaction, promoted by NMO in the presence of 4 A molecular sieves, afforded the 3-tert-butyldimethylsilyloxymethyl-2-substituted-cyclopent-2-en-1-ones (III) in good yield and with complete regioselectivity. Deprotection of the silyl ether, followed by Swern oxidation, gave 3-formyl-2-substituted-cyclopent-2-en-1-ones (II). Julia olefination of the aldehydes II with the suitable chiral sulfone enabled preparation of PPB1 type I and PGB1.
