Abstract

A prostaglandin-F1α methyl ester derivative (12) possessing three different protecting groups on the hydroxy units was prepared so as to allow selective removal of the group attached to the 11-OH group. Compound (12) was converted into prostaglandin-J1 methyl ester (16) in two steps (77% overall yield). Prostaglandin-J1 methyl ester showed potent activity against Sendai virus.
