Abstract

The synthesis of both enantiomers of phytoprostane B type I from 3-[(dimethoxyphosphoryl)methyl]cyclopent-2-enone is reported. It consists of three steps including regioselective alkylation of the substrate at C(2) with methyl 8-bromooctanoate, subsequent Horner reaction with enantiomeric O-benzoyl-protected α-hydroxybutanals and final methanolysis. This affords the product in 25% overall yield.
