Reaction Steps

Reaction of this ketone with propargyl magnesium bromide provides 4,8-dimethyl-4-hydroxy non-7-ene-1-yne. This alcohol is protected with trimethylsilyl chloride and converted to trans vinyl tin derivative of 4,7-dimethyl-4-trimethylsiloxy-non-8-ene-1-yne which is converted to the corresponding prostaglandin by the methods described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,322,543 and 4,271,314 to provide methyl 7-[3α-hydroxy-2β-(4-hydroxy-4,8-dimethyl-1,5,7-trans,trans,trans-nonatrienyl-5-oxocyclopentane]-1α-hept-4-cis-enoate having the formula ##STR14##
