Abstract
[reaction: see text] The 11-oxa prostaglandin analogue AL-12182 1 has potent topical ocular hypotensive activity. A convergent and concise general synthesis of this class of prostanoid was developed employing a stereoselective coupling reaction between a tetrahydrofuran core electrophile and a nucleophilic omega side chain component, providing a route that should be suitable for commercial scale production. The tetrahydrofuran core was assembled from dimethyl d-malate using a stereoselective beta-hydroxy ester dianion alkylation reaction.
