Description

SPECIFICATION Process for the preparation of A 2,3 and A 3,4 prostaglandins This invention relates to a process for the preparation of A 2,3 and A 3,4 prostaglandins; more particularly, it relates to a method of introducing a double bond at the 2,3 or 3,4 position of E type prostaglandins.
The present invention is particularly applicable to E type prostaglandins corresponding to the following general formulae (I), (II) and (Ill):
For examples of specific compounds, reference may be made to "Prostaglandin Synthesis", J.S. Bendra and R Bendra,Academic Press (1977),forexample. In particularthe present process maybe used to prepare useful compounds of the type described in U.S. Patent No. 4,312,994. The present process is particularly useful in that it decreases the number of steps and increases the yield over previous processes for producing valuable A 2,3 and A 3,4 E type prostaglandins. Prostaglandin compounds of the E series are known to have a variety of therapeutic applications. (See, for example, E.W.Horton in "Chemistry, Biochemistry and Pharmacological Activity of Prostanoids" Pergamon Press (1979).) In one embodiment, the present invention relates to a process for the preparation of E type A 2,3 prostaglandins which comprises: (a) preparing a higher trialkyl silyl enol ether of a C-9 ketone; (b) treating the higher trialkyl silyl enol ether with a lithium dialkyl amide, followed by a selenium or sulphur reagent; (c) oxidizing the product of (b); and (d) hydrolyzing the product of (c) using a weak acid to produce the desired A 2,3 prostaglandins.
In another embodiment, the present invention relates to a process for the preparation of A 3,4 E type prostaglandins which comprises: (a) preparing a highertrialkyl silyl enol ether of a C-9 ketone; (b) treating the higher trialkyl silyl enol ether with a lithium dialkyl amide, followed by a selenium or sulphur reagent; (c) oxidizing the product of (b); (d) treating the product of (c) with a lithium dialkyl amide; (e) treating the product of (d) with a proton source; and (f) hydrolyzing the product of (e) using a weak acid to produce the desired A 3,4 prostaglandins.
Accordingly, the present invention provides a process for the preparation of E type A 2,3 or A 3,4 prostaglandins which comprises: (a) preparing a higher trialkyl silyl enol ether of a C-9 ketone; (b) treating the higher trialkyl silyl enol ether with a lithium dialkyl amide, followed by a selenium or sulphur reagent; (c) oxidizing the product of (b); and, if A 2,3 compounds are required, (d) hydrolyzing the product of (c) using a weak acid to yield the desired A 2,3 prostaglandins; or, if A 3,4 compounds are required, (d) treating the product of (c) with a lithium dialkyl amide; (e) treating the product of (d) with a proton source; and (f) hydrolyzing the product of (e) using a weak acid to produce the desired A 3,4 prostaglandins.
For example, one A 3,4 prostaglandins.
For example, one A 3,4 compound which it is preferred to prepare in accordance with the present invention is (+) methyl 11a, 16(RS)-dihydrnxy-16-methyl-9-oxoprnsta-3EZ,SZ, 13E-trienoate.
The higher trialkyl silyl enol ether will vary depending on the compound being prepared. In general, this process is a competition reaction with the possibility of protons being pulled from a number of sites, and thus a consequential wide variety of potential end products exists. the trialkyl silyl enol ether used must be such that it protects other sites from deprotonation. There is in general no formula for determing the relative size based on any constant factors, but, for example, in preparing (+) methyl 11 a, 1 6(RS)-dihydroxy-1 6- methyl-9-oxoprosta-3EZ, 5Z. 1 3E-trienoate, the dimethyl t-butyl silyl enol ether will work successfully in producing this compound. However, relatively smaller or less branched trialkyl silyl enol ethers will not work.Examples of ineffective compounds for this example are trimethylsilyl, triethylsilyl (which has the same molecular weight as the dimethyl-t-butyl) or even dimethyl butyl which is a straight-chain isomer. It appears, therefore, that some degree of branched side chain is necessary to achieve the desired results; the exact degree may be determined on a compound by compound basis.
The general schematic of the present invention as applied to compounds of the above mentioned U.S.
Patent No. 4,312,994 is illustrated in the following:

The resulting compound (XII) is then treated with a lithium dialkyl amide, such as lithium diisopropyl amide or lithium isopropyl cyclohexyl amide, and quenched with a selenium or sulphur reagent, such as diphenyl diselenide, phenyl selenium chloride or diphenyl disulphide, with diphenyl diselenide being preferred, to give a compound (XIII).The compound (XIII) is then oxidized, for example using hydrogen peroxide or sodium periodate, to yield the (XIV) or (XXI) compound. The (XXI) compound may be hydrolyzed using a weak acid, such as acetic acid, to yield the (XXII) compound according to the present invention. Alternatively, the (XXII) compound may be treated with a lithium dialkyl amide and then quenched with a proton source, such as a weak acid or alcohol, with acetic acid being preferred, to yield the (XXIII) compounds according to the present invention. The (XXIII) compounds may be hydrolyzed using a weak acid, such as acetic acid, to yield the (XXIV) compounds. The following Examples illustrated the present invention.
