An efficient and trans-diastereoselective Rh(I)-catalyzed 1,4-conjugate addition reaction of alkenylboronic acids and a homochiral (R)-4-silyloxycyclopentenone useful for the synthesis of derivatives of prostaglandins E and F is described for the first time. The reaction functions under mild conditions and is particularly rapid (≤6 h) under low power (50 W) microwave irradiation at 30 °C in MeOH in the presence of a catalytic amount of KOH. Under these conditions, 3 mol % of [RhCl(COD)]2 is typically required to produce high yields. The method also functions without microwave irradiation at 3 °C in the presence of a stoichiometric amount of KOH. Under these conditions, only 1.5 mol % of [RhCl(COD)]2 is needed, but the reaction is considerably slower. The method accepts a range of aryl- and alkyl-substituted alkenylboronic acids, and its utility has been demonstrated by the synthesis of PGF2α (dinoprost) and tafluprost.
METAL-CATALYZED ASYMMETRIC 1,4-CONJUGATE ADDITION OF VINYLBORON COMPOUNDS TO 2-SUBSTITUTED-4-OXY-CYCLOPENT-2-EN-1-ONES YIELDING PROSTAGLANDINS AND PROSTAGLANDIN ANALOGS

This invention provides a novel method for the preparation of 2,3-disubstituted-4-oxy-cyclopentan-1-one compounds that are useful for the synthesis of prostaglandins and prostaglandin analogs of industrial relevance. The method comprises the metal-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-conjugate addition of vinylboron compounds to 2-substituted-4-oxy-cyclopent-2-en-1-ones. This method relies on the use of less toxic, easily-handled reagents, and can be performed under milder conditions than offered by some conventional methods, affording 2,3-disubstituted-4-oxy-cyclopentan-1-one compounds enantio- and diastereoselectively, which are precursors to the said prostaglandin and prostaglandin analogs, in high yield.
