Our synthetic design creates the stereochemistry needed for the core and side chains of the target prostaglandin PGF2 and PGF2 synthase selective analogues while incorporating iodocyclization desymmetrization of acyclic dienes. A model system for 4-(iodomethyl)-6-methyl-1,3-dioxan-2- one was developed and synthesized for our target compound 4-(2-(benzyloxy)ethyl)-6- (iodomethyl)-5-vinyl-1,3-dioxan-2-one.
Both compounds were successfully synthesized providing useful stereocenters for completing the synthesis of prostaglandin PGF2 .Efforts toward total stereochemical control of PGF2α include the partial syntheses of bis- diethylanimedimethylsilane and of (4S,5S)-2-((1E,3E)-penta-1,3-dien-1-yl)-4,5-diphenyl-1,3- ditosyl-1,3,2-diazaborolidine. xvi CHAPTER 1: PROGRESS TOWARDS THE SYNTHESIS OF PROSTAGLANDIN PGF2 1.1 Introduction to Prostaglandins Essential fatty acids omega-3, omega-6, including eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), precursors to prostanoids, are critical for circulation, production of hemoglobin, immune function, and anti-inflammatory response.1 A study reported in 2006 by R. Bayer suggests that omega-3 fatty acids are a possible treatment for inflammatory pain.2 Studies by Wall et al. concluded that increasing consumption of omega-3 fatty acids increases production of inflammation mediators and regulators.
3 Linoleic acid, a C18:2 omega-6 fatty acids (Image 1) is the precursor to arachidonic acid which is oxidized by cyclooxygenase 1 or 2 forming prostaglandin PGG2, an inflammatory stimulator. In the C18:2 type nomenclature, C18 represents the number of carbons in the chain; the 2 represents the number of alkenes in the chain. PGG2 is reduced by PGH2 synthase forming prostaglandin PGH2, which undergoes enzymatic reactions to produce five different prostaglandins: PGI2, PGF1α, PGF2α, PGE2, PGD2, and a thromboxane, TXA2. The primary prostaglandins undergo additional enzymatic reactions to form additional prostanoids, which are responsible for homeostasis, (Scheme 1).2 Methods of Prostaglandin Synthesis There are three major prostaglandin synthetic designs.
The first is synthesis of the core cyclopentane with appropriate side groups which can be used in subsequent reactions for attachment of α and ω chains. Linoleic Acid C18:2, omega-6 2 PGF2 Scheme 1. Enzymatic Cascade Producing Prostaglandins and Thromboxanes 3 The second is a two molecule coupling, where one molecule contains the cyclopentane core and an attached side chain. This molecule is coupled to a second chain, (Scheme 2).
The third method of prostaglandin synthesis is the three component coupling (Scheme 3).4 Following is an example of each approach. A derivative of Corey’s lactone was synthesized by Augustyns et al. 5 Lactone synthesis began with a Diels-Alder reaction of 1.13, followed by a radical induced skeletal translocation affording lactone product 1.15, which was isomerized to produce 1. Decarboxylmethylation with lithium chloride gave lactone 1.17 which was functionalized via bromohydrin formation followed by acetylation.
Radical debromination of the core structure was accompanied by the potential for side chain attachment 1. Two molecule coupling completed by Togashi et al. 6 commenced with the 1,1-dibromo alkene (1.20) coupling to an aldehyde chain affording alkyne 1. Swern oxidation transformed the hydroxyl group to a ketone giving product 1.
K-selectride was used to stereoselectively reduce the ketone carbonyl, producing alcohol 1. Reduction of the alkyne, followed by hydroxyl group acylation yielded 1.
