(+)-13-Fluoroprostaglandin F2α methyl ester (1) was prepared from the readily available methyl (-)-(1α,4α,5α,7S*)-5-bromospiroheptane-2,2'-dioxolane>carboxylate (6).Construction of the 13-fluoro olefinic structural unit was achieved via a Schlosser-Wittig reaction employing chiral aldehyde 2 and chiral ylide 3. (+)-13-Fluoroprostaglandin F2α methyl ester was evaluated for pregnancy interruption in the hamster and smooth muscle stimulating properties on hamster uterine strips.
