Enantioselective Rh-Mediated Synthesis of (-)-PGE2 Methyl Ester
Taber, Douglass F.,Hoerrner, R. Scott
, p. 441 - 447 (2007/10/02)
Intramolecular Rh(II) carboxylate catalyzed cyclization of an α-diazo β-methylene ketone to form a fused cyclopropane is shown to compete efficiently with β-hydride elimination, so long as a catalyst derived from an electron-donating carboxylate is used.C

The Pd(PPh3)4 catalyzed reaction of 2,3-saturated and 2,3-unsaturated 1,4-epiperoxides proceeds by courses markedly different from those of the previously reported transition metal catalyses.The Pd(0)-promoted reaction of 2,3-saturated epiperoxides gives the corresponding 4-hydroxy ketones and 1,4-diols as the major products.From 2,3-dedihydroepiperoxides are formed the corresponding 4-hydroxy enones, syn-1,2;3,4-diepoxides, and 1,4-diols.The results are interpreted in terms of competing Pd(0)/Pd(II) exchange mechanisms.Exposure of prostaglandin (PG) H2 methyl esterto Pd(PPh3)4 produces a mixture of methyl esters of PGD2, PGE2, PGF2α, and (5Z,8E,10E,12S)-12-hydroxy-5,8,10-heptadecatrienoic acid.
Total Synthesis of (+/-)-Prostaglandin E2 Methyl Ester from exo-2-Bromo-endo-3-hydroxybicycloheptan-6-one using Dimethyl-t-butylsilyl Protected Intermediates

Peracetic acid oxidation at -78 deg C of the dihydroxybicyclohepten-6-one (23) afforded the dihydroxylactone (24) which was protected as its bisdimethyl-t-butylsilyl ether (26) and reduced to the corresponding lactol (27).A Wittig reaction on (27), carried out in benzene with a short reaction time, gave mainly the required 11α-silyl ether (28) together with a trace of the 9α-silyl ether (29) which results from 1,5-migration of the silyl group.Oxidation of (28) followed by quantitative deprotection using aqueous HF in acetonitrile afforded (+/-)-PGE2 methyl ester (20).This short stereo- and regioselective total synthesis proceeds in an overall yield of 10percent starting from cyclopentadiene.

This invention is a group of 8-beta, 12-alpha-PG2 (prostaglandin-type) analogs having variable chain length, or methyl or phenyl substitution in the hydroxy-substituted side-chain, and processes for making them. These compounds are useful for a variety of pharmacological purposes, including anti-ulcer, inhibition of platelet aggregation, increase of nasal patency, and labor inducement at term.
Enzymatic preparation and purification of prostaglandin E2.
Lapidus,Grant,Alburn
, p. 371 - 373 (2007/10/16)
An enzymatic system has been developed for the production of prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) from arachidonic acid by extracts of sheep seminal vesicular glands. The presence of glutathione insures high yields. A new procedure for the purification of PGE(2) was also developed, based on the dialysis of the biosynthesized product at pH 8 and extraction of the dialysate at pH 3 with chloroform. This procedure routinely gives yields of PGE(2) of 25-37% (from arachidonic acid) with a purity of 90-100%. Additional analytical proof of the identity of PGE(2) was provided by physicochemical characteristics of the crystalline thiosemicarbazide derivative, which can be readily prepared under mild conditions.
