Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Prostaglandins regulate a broad range of physiological activities and some of their derivatives are used as effective drugs, but previously their preparation has required many operations. In the present investigation, we developed formal 3+2 cycloaddition reaction, which proceeds between succinaldehyde and nitroalkene catalyzed by diphenylprolinol silyl ether, which has been developed in my group, to afford substituted cyclopentanecarbaldehyde with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivity. Using this reaction as a ley step, we established one of the shortest and highest-yielding asymmetric total syntheses of prostaglandin A1 and E1 methyl ester in a small number of synthetic operations using only three pots via an environmentally-benign process. Newly-developed organocatalysis technology and practical, single-pot operations involving several successive reactions produce PGA1 and PGE1 efficiently.
