Abstract

A procedure to prepare a prostaglandin of structure: **(See formula)** and its epimer C15; wherein: Ar is phenyl, 3,4-dimethoxyphenyl, 3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl, 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl; alpha- or beta-naphthyl or monosubstituted phenyl whose substituent is halo, trifluoromethyl, phenyl, lower alkyl or lower alkoxy; R is hydrogen or lower alkyl; n and m are each integers between 0 and 3, provided that the sum of n and m does not exceed 3; W is a single ligation or a double trans ligation; Z is a single ligation or a double trans ligation; M is keto, (see formula) or (see formula); X is selected from: (see formula), where R'is hydrogen, an alkyl of 1 to 10 carbon atoms; an aralkyl of 7 to 9 carbon atoms; a cycloalkyl of 3 to 8 carbon atoms; alpha- or beta-naphthyl; phenyl or monosubstituted phenyl, the substituent of which is halo, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy or phenyl; tetrazolyl; or (see formula), where R'' is an alkanoyl having from 2 to 10 carbon atoms or a cycloalkanoyl having from 4 to 8 carbon atoms; aryl or substituted arioyl having from 7 to 11 carbon atoms and in which the substituent is methyl, halogen or methoxy; an alkylsulfonyl having 1 to 7 carbon atoms; arylsulfonyl or substituted arylsulfonyl whose substituent is methyl, halogen, or methoxy; and in which: L, M and N are selected to complete the structure of a prostaglandin from series A, E or F, the lower alkanoyl, formyl or benzoyl esters of any free hydroxyl groups at positions C9-, C11 - and C15, and the pharmaceutically acceptable bases of the compounds, in which X is COOH, characterized in that said compound is prepared by treating the 11- and 15-tetrahydropyranide ethers of a compound of formula I above, with an aqueous acid at a pH of 2-5 in the presence or absence of a solubilizing co-solvent at a temperature of 25-50ºC for 2-4 hours and when required to convert the compound thus produced into the lower alkanoyl, formyl or benzoyl esters of any hydroxyl groups free at the C9-, C11- and C15 positions and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds where X is COOH.
