methyl 7-[(1R,2R,3R,5S)-5-acetoxy-2-((E)-(6S)-4,4-difluoro-6-methyl-3-oxo-1-octenyl)-3-(2-tetrahydropyranyloxy)cyclopentyl]heptanate → methyl 7-[(1R,2R,3R,5S)-5-acetoxy-2-((6S)-4,4-difluoro-6-methyl-3-oxooctyl)-3-(2-tetrahydropyranyloxy)cyclopentyl]heptanate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 7-[(1R,2R,3R,5S)-5-acetoxy-2-((E)-(6S)-4,4-difluoro-6-methyl-3-oxo-1-octenyl)-3-(2-tetrahydropyranyloxy)cyclopentyl]heptanate (C) (76.78 g, 141.0 mmol) in ethyl acetate (357 ml), 5%-palladium on carbon (7.30 g) was added and the solution was hydrogenated at room temperature and the ambient pressure. The reaction mixture was filtered, the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give methyl 7-[(1R,2R,3R,5S)-5-acetoxy-2-((6S)-4,4-difluoro-6-methyl-3-oxooctyl)-3-(2-tetrahydropyranyloxy)cyclopentyl]heptanate (D) (72.69 g; 133.0 mmol; yield: 94.3%) as a colorless oil.
