[Stereochemistry of substituting the allyl hydroxyl group with fluorine atom in prostaglandins. Synthesis of 15-fluoro-11,15-dideoxyprostaglandins E1]. / Stereokhimiia zameny allil'noi gidroksil'noi gruppy na atom ftora v prostaglandinakh. Sintez 15-ftor-11,15-didezoksiprostaglandinov E1.

(+/-)-15-Fluoro-11,15-dideoxyprostaglandin E1 and its methyl and ethyl esters were synthesized. Dehydroxyfluorination reaction (+/-)-11-deoxyprostaglandin E1 esters with various reagents based on SF4 was studied. Along with the target 15-fluorides (mixtures of alpha- and beta-epimers), products of allylic shift and dehydration in a ratio dependent on the fluorination agent were shown to be formed. With a morpholinotrifluorosulfuran-tris(morpholine)sulfonium trimethyldifluorosilicate mixture, the maximal excess (70%) of one of the 15-fluoro epimers was achieved. Possible mechanisms of dehydroxyfluorination of (+/-)-11-deoxyprostaglandin E1 esters with dialkylaminoflluorosulfurans were proposed. Methyl esters of 15-alpha-fluoro- and 15-beta-fluoro-11,15-dideoxyprostaglandin E1 exhibited moderate antiaggregation activity in rabbit platelet tests.
