Development of efficient and stereoselective synthesis of prostaglandins (PGs) is of utmost importance, owing to their valuable medicinal applications and unique chemical structures. We report here a unified synthesis of PGs cloprostenol, bimatoprost, PGF2α, fluprostenol, and travoprost from the readily available dichloro-containing bicyclic ketone6aguided by biocatalytic retrosynthesis, in 11-12 steps with 3.8-8.4% overall yields. An unprecedented Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase (BVMO)-catalyzed stereoselective oxidation of6a(99% ee), and a ketoreductase (KRED)-catalyzed diastereoselective reduction of enones12(87?:?13 to 99?:?1 dr) were utilized in combination for the first time to set the critical stereochemical configurations under mild conditions. Another key transformation was the copper(ii)-catalyzed regioselectivep-phenylbenzoylation of the secondary alcohol of diol10(9.3?:?1 rr). This study not only provides an alternative route to the highly stereoselective synthesis of PGs, but also showcases the usefulness and great potential of biocatalysis in construction of complex molecules.

Optically active Corey lactone 8 has been synthesized using a dirhodium(II)-catalyzed intramolecular C-H insertion reaction of chiral α- diazo-β-oxo ester 2 as a key step.
