20 is lower alkyl; V is H or OH; and M is OR., wherein R. is lower alkyl or an alkali metal, for example, sodium. The compounds of this invention are physiologically active compounds which possess prostacyclin-like activity. Thus, the products of this invention may be employed for the purpose of lowering elevated blood pressure and of increasing peripheral blood flow. Therefore, the products of this invention.may be employed in the treatment of hypertension or for the relief of circulatory problems.
In addition, the compounds of this invention prevent the aggregation of blood platelets thereby removing one of the contributory factors to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques. As a result the products of this invention may be employed prophylactically in patients with a tendency of coronary infarcts. In addition, the products of this invention may be employed in hemodialysis and during open heart surgery where it is important to prevent aggregation of platelets thereby impeding the flow of blood through the filter pads. In addition, some of the products of this invention cause regression of the corpus luteum, and they can therefore be used for estrus synchronization in farm animals so as to achieve greater economy in the practice of artificial insemination, or as contraceptive agents in the human female. Being protected from metabolic inactivation these compounds can be administered perorally or intravenously, in contrast to the corresponding natural prostaglandins.
In addition, some of the products of this invention have been found to be resistant to the action of the major prostaglandin inactivating enzyme, 15-hydroxy- prostaglandin dehydrogenase. Such failure to be destroyed in the body has the effect of prolonging or enhancing the action of these substances when compared with the naturally occurring prostaglandins. In addition, and perhaps one of the most important properties of the products of this invention is the considerable chemical stability which is imparted to them by the presence of the fluorine substitutents the 4,4; 7 ,7; 10,10; or 5 positions. As a result of this greatly increased chemical stability the products of this invention retain their biological activity considerably longer than is the case with the naturally occurring prostacyclins . The pharmacologically active compounds of this invention may be administered to the animal or patient being treated therewith in any manner known and convenient to the skilled worker practicing the invention, the dosage and concentration of the final products being adjusted to the requirement of the patient and the properties of the respective compound being employed. The skilled worker may prepare the final products in such compositions and dosage forms as are usually employed for such purposes, depending upon the route of administration selected for the ultimate composition, for example, parenteral, peroral or topical final dosage and routes of administration.
It should be understood in the practice of this invention that in the preparation of the various compounds producible thereby, whenever a compound having free hydroxy groups is produced it may be further treated in accordance with methods well known in the art to provide the respective acyl deriyatives thereof, Thus, a compound of this invention having free hydroxy groups may be treated with a suitable acylating agent, such as those derived from hydrocarbon carboxylic acids of twelve carbon atoms or less to yield the desired acyloxy derivatives as is well known to the skilled worker, The products of this invention are prepared by the processes of this invention which entail a number of steps beginning with cyclopentane-1,3-dione as the starting material. The steps involved in the processes of this invention may be generally represented by the following sequence of chemical structures, wherein
R ' ,X', and M ' are as defined herein .

In the first step of the process of this invention cyclopentane-1, 3-dione is converted into the isobutyl ether with isobutanol and a strong acid such as p-tolunesulfonic acid. The resultant racemic enol ether may than be further treated in accordance with this invention with allyl bromide in the presence of a strong base such as lithium diisopropylamide to yield the allyl derivative which is hydrolyzed with a mineral acid such as HC1 and the hydrolysis product (lIb) treated with perchloryl fluoride in the presence of potassium bicarbonate. The intermediate difluoro derivative resulting from this reaction is not isolated but immediately reduced with a hydride reducing agent such as potassium tri-sec-butylborohydride to form the difluoro diol (III). This compound is subjected to ozonolysis followed by reductive cleavage of the ozonide, the reducing agent selected being, for example, dimethyl sulfide. The resultant aldehyde, which instantaneously cyclizes to the hemiacetal is not isolated but immediately oxidized with iodine in the presence of sodium carbonate to form the lactone (IV), This lactone may then be dehydrated with trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride in pyridine at elevated temperature resulting in the unsaturated lactone (V) .
At this stage it becomes optional to proceed either with the racemic compound V or to resolve V into its optical antipodes. Whichever course is followed, the reactions themselves and the precise conditions under which they are performed are identical for the whole sequence until the final products of this invention are obtained.
The resolution of the lactone (V) involves hydrol- ysis of the latter with a base, such as potassium hydroxide, by the reaction of the resultant salt with optically active α- (1-naphthyl) -ethylamine yielding crystalline salts which are recrystallized to constant specific rotation and then treated with a base to decompose the salts and to remove the α- (1-naphthyl) - ethylamine by extraction with ether. The resultant optically active salts are then directly converted into the iodo lactones (Via) and VIb) by treatment with iodine and dilute KOH. On the left side of the formula chart set forth above are shown the structures of those enantiomers corresponding in their configuration to the natural prostaglandins. To obtain these enantiomers it is necessary to use (R) (+)- α - (1-naphthyl) -ethylamine. If it is desired to obtain their optical antipodes then (S)(-)-α- (1-naphthyl) -ethylamine must be employed.
The resultant iodo lactones may then be carried forward by the process of this invention either in optically active form or as the racemate, which latter alternative is shown in the center of the formula charts. The iodo lactone (VI) are then converted into the epoxy lactones (VII) by treatment with base followed by mild acid treatment. Some of the resultant epoxy acid which fails to lactonize is converted into the methyl ester with diazomethane and then subjected to chromatography on silica gel which causes the methyl ester to lactonize, The epoxy lactones (VII) are then subject to treatment with lithium aluminum hydride at low temperature to form diol epoxides (VIII). These epoxide derivatives are treated with a dialkyl alkynyl aluminum derivative A to form the various acetylenic derivatives (IX) of this invention.

where Z' = lower Alkyl, preferably CH3 or C2H5; X = H or F; T' is lower alkyl from 3 to 6 carbon atoms, for example butyl or pentyl; and Y' is an alcohol protecting group for example, lower alkyl, such as tert-butyl . The resultant triols IX may then be oxidized with oxygen in the presence of a noble metal catalyst, such as Pt, to form the lactones X, Thus, if in the dialkyl aluminum alkynyl derivatives X is hydrogen, the corresponding triols are formed. If X is fluorine the corresponding fluorinated triols result. The lactones may then be reduced with a hydride reagent such as diisobutylaluminum hydride at low temperature to form the hemiacetals of this invention XI which, when treated with the ylid prepared from 5-triphenylphosphonio-pentanoic acid yield after removal of the t-butyl protecting group with trifluoroacetic acid the 10,10-difluoro-13-dehydroprostaglandins XII of this invention, which are new products of this invention.
The above prostaglandins of structure XII can then be treated with a diazo-alkane, such as CH2N2 and the resulting ester derivates cyclized by treatment with a halogen or halogenimide such as iodine and sodium bicarbonate to form the iodo ethers XIII. Treatment with a base, such as for instance diazabicyclo[5,4,0] undec-5-ene results e formation of the prosta- cyclins XIV and thei

further object of this invention is the production of the 10 ,10-difluoroprostaglandins and the 10,10-difluoro- prostacyclins possessing a trans-double bond in place of the acetylenic bond present in the compounds heretofore described. The synthesis of these compounds starts with the triol-t-butyl ethers IX. Removal of the t-butyl protecting group with trifluoroacetic acid and anisole gives rise to the tetrol IXc, in which the triple bond may now be reduced with lithium aluminum hydride to form the allylic alcohol XVI. Compound XVI may now be treated in the manner hereinbefore described for the sequence of compounds IX to XV, the conditions being very similar to those outlined for the above series of reactions. In this manner there result these additional final pharmacologically active products of this invention XXI and XXII.
The preparation of some of the additional final compounds of this invention entails a number of steps beginning with an unsaturated lactone (Compound 1) as starting material.

Compounds f are then reacted with a triaryl chloro- methane, for example, triphenyl chloromethane in pyridine to form the ether Compounds g, which are then treated with an acylating agent, such as, acetic anhydride in pyridine to yield the diester Compounds h. The diesters are then reacted with a dilute organic acid, for example, 90% acetic acid to yield the alcohol Compounds i, which may then be treated with a sulfonating agent, for example, methane sulfonyl chloride in a base, such as pyridine to yield the sulfonated es.ter Compounds j. These sulfonated Compounds j may then be halogenated by reaction with a metal halide, for example, lithium bromide to yield the corresponding bromide Compounds k. Compounds k may then be treated with a phosphine, such as, triphenyl phosphine to yield the desired acylated phosphonium compounds, which may then be hydrolyzed by treatment with a mild mineral acid, such as hydrochloric acid to yield the corresponding dihydroxy phosphonium compounds, which are then reacted with a strong base, such as butyl lithium to yield the desired ylid compound (Compound e) , which may then be employed to obtain the desired prostaglandin compounds (Compounds 4) of this invention, as hereinbefore described.
