Reaction Steps

Four samples (the product before crystallization, the product of the first crystallization, the filtrate of the first crystallization, and the product of the second crystallization) were hydrolyzed using methanol and 3N NaOH. After 2 h at 25° C., the mixture was acidified and extracted with ethyl acetate. After drying-concentration of the extracts, crude Latanoprost acid was obtained. The crude Latanoprost acid was esterified using K2CO3 and 2-iodopropane in DMF. After 2 h at 60° C., water and ethyl acetate were added and phase separated, the aqueous layer extracted with ethyl acetate. After drying-concentration of the extracts, crude Latanoprost was obtained. HPLC (Phenomenex Luna 5 μm silica) analysis of the crude product showed the following results:
