1~53~69 As shown in Scheme A, in 2--3 the oxophosphonate 2 is reacted with the known /Corey, et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 93, 1491 (1971~ aldehyde H to produce, after chromatography or crystallization, the enone 3. The compound in which the p-biphenyl carbonyl group is replaced with a p-biphenyl carbamoyl protecting group is also useful as a substitute for H and has the added benefit that in the reduction step (3~ 4) a higher percentage of the desired o~ isomer is produced.
The enone 3 can be converted to a mixture of tertiary alcohols 13 and 14 by reaction with the appropriate metallo alkyl and the isomeric 13 and 14 can be separated by column chromatography. The enone 3 can be reduced with zinc borohydride or with lithium trialkylborohydrides, such as lithium triethylborohydride, to a mixture of alcohols, _ and 5 which can be separated as above. In this reaction ethers such as tetrahydrofuran or l,2-dimethoxyethane are usually employed as solvents, although occasionally methanol is preferred to ensure specificity of reduction. Further trans-formations 4 are shown on Scheme B.
4 -~6 is a base catalyzed transesterification in whlch the p-biphenyl-carbonyl protecting group is removed.
This is most conveniently conducted with potassium carbonate in methanol or methanol-tetrahydrofuran solvent. 6~7 involves the protection of the two free hydroxyl groups with an acid-labile protecting group. Any sufficiently acid-labile group is satisfactory; however, the most usual one is tetrahydro-pyranyl, which can be incorporated in the molecule by treat-ment with dihydropyran and an acid catalyst in an anhydrous medium. The catalyst is usually p-toluenesulfonic acid.

, Scheme D illustrates the synthesis of precursors to the 13,14-dihydro-15-substituted-~-pentanorprostaglandins.
In 3~19 + 19' the enone 3 is reduced to the tetra-hydro compound through the use of any of the complex metal hydride reducing agents, LiAlH4, NaBH4, KBH4, LiBH4 and Zn(BH4)2. Especially preferred is NaBH4. The products, 19 and 19', are separated from each other by column chroma-tography.
Furthermore, the compounds 4 and 5 of Scheme A can be reduced catalytically with hydrogen to 19 and 19' respec-tively. The stage at which the double bond is reduced is not critical and hydrogenation of 6 or 7 of Scheme B will also afford useful intermediates for the 13,14 dihydro prosta-glandin analogs of the present invention. This reduction may be achieved with either a homogenous catalyst such as tris-tri-phenylphosphinechlororhodium (I), or with a hetero-geneous catalyst such as platinum, palladium or rhodium. In a similar way the precursors to the 15-lower alkyl-15-sub-stituted-~-pentanorprostaglandins are synthesized by sub-stituting compounds 13 and 14 for 4 and 5 respectively, in the synthesis jUQt described.

To a solution, cooled in ice under nitrogen, of 17.2 ml. (32.6 mmoles) of a l.90M solution of n-butyllithium in hexane in lS0 ml. of dry 1,2-dimethoxyethane was added dropwise 9.2 g. (34.5 mmoles) of dimethyl-2-oxo-2-(2-indanyl)-ethylphosphonate. The solution was stirred in the cold for 10 minute~ then 11.9 g. (33.5 mmoles) of the known 2- [3a-lS ~phenylbenzoyloxy-Sa-hydroxy-23-formyl-cyclopent-la-yl]-acetic acid, y-lactone was added. The ice bath was removed;
the mixture was stirred for 1.0 hour then was quenched by the addition of glacial acetic acid (pH~S). The mixture was con-centrated and the resultant mixture was dissolved in methyl-ene chloride (300 ml.). The organic layer was washed with water (100 ml.), saturated sodium bicarbonate (S0 ml.),and saturated brine (50 ml.), was dried (anhydrous magnesium sulfate) and was concentrated to a semi-solid. Recrystal-lization of the crude product from isopropyl alcohol:methyl-ene chloride afforded the de~ired 2- [3a-~-phenylbenzoyloxy-Sa-hydroxy-2~-(3-oxo-3-(2-indanyl)-trans-1-propen-1-yl)cyclo-pent-la-yl~acetic acid, ~-lactone as white feathers melting at 170-172 and weighing 6.8S g.
