Procedure

A suspension of 15 g. of 15-hydroxy-9-oxoprostanoic acid, ethyl ester in 230 ml. of aqueous methanol (1:1) containing 6.45 g. of potassium hydroxide is stirred at 50° C. for 1 hour and then at room temperature for 18 hours. The resulting solution is acidified with 1N hydrochloric acid, saturated with sodium chloride, and extracted several times with diethyl ether. The combined ether extracts are washed twice with saturated sodium chloride solution, dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and taken to dryness to give 13.1 g. (94%) of product as an oil. There is essentially no uv absorption; [α]D25 0° (1.0% in CHCl3); λmaxKBr 2.80-3.70 (broad), 5.75, 5.87 μ; nmr 2H singlet δ 6.65 (hydroxyl and carboxyl protons), 1H broad singlet 3.63 (carbinolic proton), and 3H distorted triplet 0.93 (terminal methyl); mass spectrum: m/e 340.
