Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-[[(4S,5R)-5-[(1E,3E,7E,9S)-9-hydroxy-1 0-(4-fluorophenoxy)-1,3,7-decatrien-5-ynyl]-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl]methoxy]ethanoic acid, methyl ester, (1.1 g, 1.8 mmol) in methanol (25 mL) was treated with 1 mL of 1 N hydrochloric acid and the reaction was stirred for 2 days. The pH of the reaction was adjusted to neutrality. Purification on preparative reverse phase semi-prep column using a gradient of acetonitrile in water yielded 1.1 g of (5S,6R,7E,9E,13E,15S)-16-(4-fluorophenoxy)-5,6,15-trihydroxy-3-oxahexadeca-7,9,13-trien-1 1-ynoic acid, methyl ester, as an oil; 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ3.67 (m, 2H), 3.75 (s, 3H), 3.83 (m, 1H), 3.95 (m, 1H), 4.13 (m, 2H), 4.37 (m, 1H), 4.58 (m, 1H), 5.73 (dd, 1H), 5.86 (dd, 1H), 6.04 (dt, 1H), 6.17 (m, 1H), 6.40 (m, 1H), 6.58 (m, 1H), 6.9 (m, 4H) ppm.
