Total synthesis of (±)-8-aza-9a,9b-dicarbaprostaglandin H1
Abstract
The total synthesis of a stable prostaglandin H1 analogue in which the bicyclic peroxide system is replaced by a 2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane ring is described. Appropriate functionalization of the heterocycle and de-ethoxycarbonylation of an α-trifluoroacetamido-α-cyano ester were key reactions. Incorporation of side-chains completed the 13-step synthesis.
