Presented is a light-promoted C-C bond forming reaction yielding sulfone and phosphate derivatives at room temperature in the absence of metals or photoredox catalyst. This transformation proceeds in neat conditions through an auto-oxidation mechanism which is maintained through the leaching of trace amounts of O2 as sole green oxidant. This journal is
Process for synthesis of optically pure prostaglandin E2 and analogs thereof

, (2008/06/13)
The invention comprises a multi-step synthesis of l(-) prostaglandin E2. The special features of the synthesis include: (1) a triply-convergent conjugate-addition and alkylation reaction involving the 1,4-addition of a chiral vinyl lithium reagent to a chiral vinylsulfone to produce a sulfone-stabilized anion. This anion is alkylated in situ to produce the basic prostaglandin skeleton structure, which is then subjected to (2) an efficient peracid oxidation of a secondary amine to a β-silyloxy oxime; and (3) an alkali-catalyzed 1,4-elimination of an α-sulfonyl oxime to produce a vinyl nitroso intermediate. This intermediate is treated with borohydride to give a stereospecific 1,4-reduction which yields the bis-silyloxy oxime of l(-)PGE2. Hydrolysis of the oxime, with concurrent cleavage of the silyloxy protecting groups, affords l(-)PGE2.
