Reaction Steps

(Z)-7-((1R,2R,3R)-2-((R,E)-3-(Benzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)-3-hydroxyprop-1-enyl)-3-hydroxy-5-oxocyclopentyl)hept-5-enoic acid (Example 7, 1 molar equivalent) is dissolved in ethyl acetate (0.05 M) under a nitrogen atmosphere. 10% Pd/C (10 mol %) is added and hydrogen gas is introduced. After stirring for several hours at room temperature the reaction mixture is filtered over Celite. The crude product is purified by flash chromatography on regular silica gel eluted with ethyl acetate-hexanes (+0.4% acetic acid) to afford the title compound.
