The invention relates to the manufacture of certain polyunsaturated compounds employing a particular application of the Mitsonobu reaction in the presence of at least one anti-oxidant. We have found a method of making a pharmaceutically-acceptable polyunsaturated ester or thioester compound directly, which can ultimately be converted to the advantageous ketone compounds, in which unwanted oxidation and cis/trans isomerization are substantially reduced or eliminated using particular Mitsonobu chemistry.
本发明涉及在至少一种
抗氧化剂存在的情况下,采用特定的 Mitsonobu 反应制造某些多不饱和化合物。我们发现了一种直接制造药学上可接受的多不饱和酯或
硫酯化合物的方法,这种化合物最终可转化为有利的酮化合物,在这种方法中,利用特殊的 Mitsonobu
化学反应可大大减少或消除不需要的氧化和顺式/反式异构化。
