An improved synthesis of latanoprost involving effective control on 15(S) diastereomer

An improved process for the synthesis of latanoprost having excellent optical purity (de 99.9%, [α]D20 = +35.37° (c = 0.90, acetonitrile)) without use of preparative HPLC is described. This process involves effective purification of hydroxyl intermediate (5A) through solvent crystallization followed by inhibition of inversion of the chiral center at C-15 position. This was possible due to judicious use of diol intermediate (6) for double bond reduction prior to hydroxyl protection.

Secondary compounds in the catalytic hydrogenation of enone and allylic alcohol prostaglandin intermediates: Isolation, characterization, and X-ray crystallography

The discovery of the intraocular pressure reduction of 13,14-hydrogenated prostaglandins, among which Latanoprost is the most used drug in glaucoma treatment, has stimulated researchers to improve the synthesis of prostaglandins and their structural analo
