Page/Page column 26-29, (2017/11/15)
It is provided a process for the preparation of bimatoprost, which comprises: a) reacting a compound of formula (III) with ethylamine in the presence of a suitable solvent; and b) deprotecting compound obtained in step a) to obtain bimatoprost, wherein R1 is selected from (C1-C16)alkyl, (C1C16)haloalkyl, (C2-C16)alkenyl, (C2-C16)haloalkenyl, (C1-C16)alkoxy(C1-C16)alkyl, aryl, (C1-C16)alkylaryl, allyl, - (CH2-CH2-O)n-CH3 wherein n = 1, 2, 3 or 4, and -CH(O-CH2-CH2)2; R2 is selected from H, (C1-C16)alkyl, (C1-C16)haloalkyl, (C2-C16)alkenyl, (C2- C16)haloalkenyl, (C1-C16)alkoxy(CrC16)alkyl, aryl, (C1-C16)alkylaryl, allyl; or, alternatively, R1 and R2 taken together are selected from -CH2-CH2-CH2-, -CH2-CH2-, -O-CH2-CH2-, and -O-CH=CH-. There are also provided intermediates useful in such preparation process.
