Abstract

We describe a convergent and flexible synthesis of 15-deoxy-16-(m-tolyl)-17, 18, 19, 20- tetranorisocarbacyclin (15-deoxy-TIC), a simple isocarbacyclin derivative. The synthesis takes advantage of two key step reactions: a regioselective deprotonation of the described ketone under substrate control which is then trapped, as the enol triflate, to generate the C6- C9α endocyclic double bond, followed by an sp2-sp3 Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling ...
