This disclosure describes 3-triphenylmethoxy-1-alkynes, 3-triphenylmethoxy-1-trans-alkenyl-dialkyl-alanes, and lithium 3-triphenylmethoxy-1-trans-alkenyl-dialkyl alanates useful as intermediates for the preparation of certain 11-hydroxy- and 11-deoxy-9-keto(or hydroxy)-prostanoic acid derivatives which possess bronchodilator, hypotensive, and anti-ulcer activity.
This disclosure describes 2-substituted-3,4-epoxy-cyclopentan-1-ones, 2-substituted-3,4-epoxycyclopentan-1-ols, and various 2-substituted-cyclopentenones useful as intermediates for the preparation of certain 11-hydroxy- and 11-deoxy-9-keto(or hydroxy)-prostanoic acid derivatives which possess bronchodilator, hypotensive, and anti-ulcer activity.
This disclosure describes certain 11-hydroxy and 11-deoxy-9-keto (or hydroxy)prostanoic acid derivatives useful as bronchodilators, anti-ulcer agents, or as intermediates.
Kinetic resolution of γ-iodo allylic alcohols by the Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation reaction proceeds with very large rate differences for the two enantiomers, thus providing a highly efficient method for preparation of optically pure . The alcohols thus prepared can be readily converted into various secondary allylic alcohols through the coupling reaction with nucleophiles.
