Description
(54) HOMOPROSTAGLANDINS
(71) We, GLAXO OPERATIONS UK LIMITED (formerly known as
Glaxo Laboratories Limited), a British company of Greenford, Middlesex, do hereby declare the invention,Mor which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularlv described in and by the following statement:- This invention relates to cyclohexane analogues of prostaglandin-type compounds and processes for their preparation.
The prostaglandins are a class of naturally occurring cyclopentane derivatives whose importance in medicine is rapidly increasing. They are biologically active in many physiological systems and they or substances which antagonise their effects have potential application, for example, in the control of fertility, gastric secretion, blood pressure blood coagulation and inflammation, the predominant type of activity depending on the precise chemical structure. A more detailed summary of their various activities is given in British Patent Specification No. 1,396,206.
Considerable research has been carried out not only into the synthesis of natural prostaglandins but also into attempting to prepare analogues thereof having desirable agonist or antagonist activity. In particular, attempts have been made to find compounds which are more selective in their effect, since previously known prostaglandins, due to their multiple activities lead, when used in therapy, to a number of undesirable side effects.
We have now found that a new class of prostaglandin derivatives in which the cyclopentane ring of the natural prostaglandins is replaced by a cyclohexane ring (which is more particularly defined below) shows a desirable selectivity in that they exhibit good gastric anti-secretory activity at dosages at which they show little effect on the respiratory system and blood pressure. In addition, in contrast to a large number of known prostaglandin and prostaglandin-type compounds, they have little tendency to induce diarrhoea.
Accordingly, in one aspect of the invention, we provide compounds of general formula (I),
wherein
X represents a carbonyl or protected carbonyl group or a hydroxymethylene or protected hydroxymethylene group;
A represents a saturated or unsaturated, straight or branched aliphatic hydrocarbon chain having from 5-16 carbon atoms and which may carry one or more hydroxyl, protected hydroxyl, oxo or protected oxo groups; and
B represents a saturated or unsaturated, straight or branched aliphatic hydrocarbon chain having 5-16 carbon atoms and carrying a terminal carboxyl or protected carboxyl group and which may carry one or more hydroxyl, protected hydroxyl, oxo or protected oxo groups;
and, where B carries the carboxyl group, salts thereof.
The term a-configuration' as used herein means that the group concerned lies below the plane of the ring, i.e. the plane of the paper, and is depicted as a broken line thus |||||. The term 'ss-configuration', means that the group lies above the plane of the ring, i.e. the plane of the paper, and is depicted thus # Where a particular configuration is or may be assigned to one or more of the groups in compounds of the invention, the invention includes the mirror image optical isomers of such compounds; for the purpose of this specification, no distinction between such isomers is drawn and the invention extends to the separate isomers as well as to mixtures of said isomers including racemates.
It will be appreciated that, in formula (I), where X represents a hydroxymethylene or protected hydroxymethylene group then the hydroxyl or protected hydroxyl group may be in either the α- or ss-configuration.
When X represents a protected carbonyl group; the protecting group may, for example, be a cyclic or acyclic ketal or thioketal group e.g. an ethylenedioxy group.
When X represents a protected hydroxymethylene group this may, for example, be a group of formula
wherein Z represents an acyl, tri(hydrocarbyl)silyl, alkyl, aralkyl or cycloalkyl group or a 2-tetrahydropyranyl group. When Z represents an acyl group then desirably this will be an alkanoyl, aralkanoyl or aroyl group, the alkanoyl group preferably containing not more than 7 carbon atoms, e.g. acetyl, and the aralkanoyl or aroyl groups preferably containing not more than 20 carbon atoms, e.g. benzoyl and being optionally substituted by one or more C16 alkoxy groups, halogen atoms, nitro groups, C1~,0 acyloxy or C27 alkoxycarbonyl groups.
When Z represents a tri(hydrocarbyl)silyl group, the silyl group will carry three hydrocarbon substituents, which may be the same or different, selected from C1-6 alkyl, C2-6 alkenyl, C3-7 cycloalkyl, C5-20 aralkyl, C5-7 cycloalkenyl and C4-20 aryl groups e.g. t-butyldimethylsilyl and trimethylsilyl groups. When Z is alkyl it is preferably C16 alkyl and may carry substituents, for example, C16 alkoxy groups which may themselves be substituted, e.g. by C16 alkoxy groups.
Where Z is a cycloalkyl group it is preferably C37 cycloalkyl. In the case where Z represents an aralkyl group, this will desirably contain up to 20 carbon atoms and will preferably be an arylmethyl group e.g. benzyl. X will preferably represent a carbonyl or a hydroxymethylene group.
Aliphatic chains A and B may, for example, contain up to 13 carbon atoms.
When B carries a protected carboxyl group this may, for example, be an esterified carboxyl group preferably carrying an aliphatic, araliphatic or aryl esterifying group having up to 10 carbon atoms e.g. C16 alkyl, such as methyl, ethyl or t-butyl or benzyl or phenyl groups. Preferred esterifying groups are C14 alkyl groups.
Physiologically labile ester groups are also of interest for example acyloxymethyl groups such as pivaloyloxymethyl. It is, however, preferred that B carries a free terminal carboxyl group.
It is particularly preferred that the side chain A carries a free hydroxyl group.
When present in a side-chain A and/or B, a hydroxyl or protected hydroxyl group will desirably be in a position allylic with respect to a carbon-carbon double bond and, preferably, further removed from the 6-membered ring than the carboncarbon double bond. Side chains carrying free hydroxyl groups are preferred. A protected hydroxyl group in A and/or B, may, for example, be an acyloxy group e.g. a hydroxyl group esterified with an alkanoic, aralkanoic, carbamic or carbonic acid containing up to 24 and preferably up to 10 carbon atoms, or a labile ether group such as a 2-tetrahydropyranyl ether or a tri(hydrocarbyl)silyl ether having a total of 3 to 24 carbon atoms in the ether group. In general such a protected hydroxy group may be a group OZ as defined above.
When present in side chain A and/or B, a protected oxo group will desirably be a ketal, preferably a cyclic ketal e.g. an ethylene ketal formed trom ethylene glycol.
In general, it is preferred that a hydroxyl or protected hydroxyl group in a side chain A and/or B be present on the first to fourth carbon atom from the ring.
It is further preferred that where either or both of the chains A and B is branched it includes a gem-dimethyl group. In chain A such a group is desirably situated on the carbon atom adjacent to and further removed from the 6-membered ring than a carbon atom carrying a hydroxyl or protected hydroxyl group. The presence of a methyl group on a carbon atom which bears a hydroxyl or protected hydroxyl group is also a preferred form of branched chain. In chain B a gemdimethyl group is desirably situated on the 5 carbon atom with respect to the terminal carboxyl or protected carboxyl group.
Thus, for example chain B is preferably of the form -Alk1.R where Alk' represents an alkylene or alkenylene group and R is a carboxyl or protected carboxyl group and chain A is preferably of the form -Q.W.Alk2 where Q is a carbon-carbon bond or is an ethylene group which may carry a hydroxyl or protected hydroxyl group p to the group W, or is a trans- vinylene group; W is a carbonyl group or a hydroxymethylene or protected hydroxymethylene group optionally carrying an alkyl group (which may carry a phenyl substituent) or a cycloalkyl group on the methylene group and Alk2 is a straight or branched alkyl or alkenyl group having up to 10 carbon atoms. B side chains which are of particular interest include chains of the formula: i) -CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2R where R is a carboxyl or protected carboxyl group, ii) -CH#CH-CH#CH-CH#CH-R where R is as defined above, iii)CH2CH2CH-CHCH2CH2CH2R where R is as defined above, iv)CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2R where R is as defined above, v)CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2R where R is as defined above, vi) -CH2CH2CH#CH-CH#CH-CH#CH-R where R is as defined above and vi) -CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2R where R is as defined above, especially those where R represents a carboxyl or a C2~, alkoxycarbonyl group. A side chains which are of particular interest include chains of formula: i) -CH2CH2.CO.CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3, ii) -CH#CH,CO,CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3, iii)CH-CH.CH(OH).CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3, iv) -CH2CH2CH(OH),CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3,
v) -CH#CH-CO,C(CH3)2CH2CH2CH2CH3, vi) -CH#CH.CH(OH),C(CH3)2CH2CH2CH2CH3,
vii) -CH#CH-C(OH)(CH3),CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3, viii) -CH2CH2C(OH)(CH3),CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3, ix) -CH#CH-C(OH)(CH3)CH2CH2CH2CH(CH3)2,
x) -CH#CH-C(OH)(C2H5)CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3, xi) -CH#CH-C(OH)(cyclo C5H9)CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3, xii) -CH#CH-C(OH)(CH3)CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3, xiii) -CH#CH-C(OH)(CH3)CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 and xiv) CM=tCHC(OH)(CM3)CH2CH2CH2CH3.
In relation to double bonds in the chains indicated above t denotes a trans double bond and c denotes a cis double bond.
Particularly preferred B groups are (i) and (ii) where R represents a carboxyl group and particularly preferred A groups are (iii), (iv), (vi), (vii), (viii) and (xii).
Also included within the scope of the present invention are salts of compounds of general formula (T) wherein the B side chain carries a free terminal carboxyl group. Such salts may, for example, be formed with physiologically compatible, non-toxic cations such as alkali metal and alkaline earth metal cations e.g. the sodium ion, potassium ion, calcium ion and magnesium ion as well as organic amine cations such as e.g. the triethanolammonium cation. It will be appreciated that, for pharmaceutical use, the salts will be physiologically compatible but other salts may find use, for example, in the preparation of the compounds of general formula I and their physiologically compatible salts.
Particularly preferred compounds according to the invention are the following: 7 - [2a - (3R,S - hydroxy - 3 - methyl - trans - 1 - octenyl) - 3 - oxocyclo - hex - - yl]heptanoic acid; - - hydroxy - 2a - (3R,S - hydroxy - 3 - methyl - trans - 1 - octenyl) - cyclo - hex - p - yl]heptanoic acid; 7 - [3a hydroxy - 2a - (3R,S - hydroxy - 3 - methyl - trans - 1 - octenyl) - cyclo hex - ss - yl]heptanoic acid; 7 - [3p - hydroxy - 2a - (3R - hydroxy - 4,4 - dimethyl - trans - 1 - octenyl) - cyclohex - p - yl]heptanoic acid;

The compounds of general formula (I) and, where the B chain carries a carboxyl group, the physiologically compatible salts thereof may be formulated for administration e.g. to man in a variety of ways either alone or together with a pharmaceutical carrier or diluent. Thus according to a further feature of the present invention there are provided pharmaceutical compositions comprising, as active ingredient, at least one compound of formula (I) as hereinbefore defined or, where B carries a terminal carboxyl group, a physiologically compatible salt thereof, in association with a pharmaceutical carrier or diluent.
The compounds and/or physiologically compatible salts of the invention may desirably be formulated for oral or parenteral administration. Such compositions may, for example, take the form of tablets, coated tablets, capsules, lozenges, ampoules for injection and solutions.
The carriers or diluents which may be of use in such compositions are those conventional for such forms and may include, for example, starch, lactose, magnesium stearate, talc, gelatin, sterile pyrogen-free water or suspending, emulsifying, dispersing, thickening or flavouring agents. Dosage unit formssuch as ampoules for parenteral administration are preferred.
The compounds of the invention may typically be administered in dosages of from 0.01 to 100 mg per kg, preferably of from 0.1 to 10 mg/kg. of body weight, though the precise dosage which will be effective will vary depending on the particular compound concerned, the mode of administration, the condition being treated and the patient.
The compounds of the invention may be prepared by any convenient method.
According to a further aspect of the invention, therefore, we provide a process for the preparation of compounds of general formula (I) as hereinbefore defined which
comprises reacting a compound of formula (II)
(where R1 represents a protected hydroxyl group) with a compound of formula (III)
(where R2 represents a protected or masked aldehyde group to give a compound of formula (IV)
(where Rl and R2 are as defined above) followed by one or more of the following reactions, which reactions may be carried out in any appropriate order, as required, whereby the desired compound of formula (I) is obtained:
a) where a free and a protected or masked aldehyde group are both present, protecting or masking the free aldehyde group so as to permit selective conversion of the protected or masked aldehyde group initially present into a free aldehyde group
b) deprotection of a protected aldehyde group or reconversion of a masked aldehyde group into a free aldehyde group.
c) reaction of a free aldehyde group in the 2-position of the six-membered ring with a reagent of formula (Va)
(wherein either na is 1, R3a is hydrogen and R4a is a dialkylphosphonyl group or hydrogen, or na is 0 or 1 and R3a and R4a together constitute a trialkylphosphoranyliene or triarylphosphoranylidene group, the reaction being effected in the presence of a base when R38 is hydrogen; and R5a represents a saturated or unsaturated, straight or branched aliphatic hydrocarbon chain, the group (CO)naR5a having up to 14 carbon atoms exclusive of substituents said aliphatic hydrocarbon chain being optionally substituted by one or more hydroxyl, protected hydroxyl, oxo or protected oxo groups whereby the group -CH=CH-(CO)na-R5a or
is introduced in the 2-position of the six-membered ring,
d) reaction of a free aldehyde group in the I-position of the six-membered ring with a reagent of formula (Vb)
(wherein nb, R3b and R4b are as defined above for na, R3 and R4b respectively, the reaction being effected in the presence of a base when R3b is hydrogen and R5b represents a saturated or unsaturated, straight or branched aliphatic hydrocarbon chain, the group (CO)nbRBb having up to 14 carbon atoms exclusive of substituents, said aliphatic hydrocarbon chain carrying a terminal carboxyl or protected carboxyl group and being optionally substituted by one or more hydroxyl, protected hydroxyl, oxo or protected oxo groups) whereby the group CH=CHCO)nbRBb or
is introduced in the I-position of the six-membered ring,
e) deprotection of R1 whereby a free hydroxyl group is obtained in the 3position of the six-membered ring
f) treatment of any free hydroxy groups with a suitable esterifying or etherifying reagent to form protected hydroxyl groups,
g) deprotection of any protected carboxyl groups,
h) reduction of the double bond in the six-membered ring and, if desired, reduction of one or more further unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds,
i) reduction of any keto groups,
j) deprotection of protected hydroxyl groups other than R1,
k) oxidation of any --CHOH groups to carbonyl groups,
I) reaction of a carbonyl group in a side chain in position I or 2 in the sixmembered ring with an organometallic reagent.
When a masked aldehyde group is present in the 1- or 2-position of the sixmembered ring this may, for example be a hydroxymethyl or protected hydroxymethyl group or an esterified carboxyl group.
Where a protected aldehyde group is present in the 1- or 2-position of the sixmembered ring this may, for example, be a cyclic or acyclic acetal or thioacetal or an oxime. In general R2 is preferably a ditlower alkoxy) methyl or alkylenedioxymethyl group
In the compound of formula (III) R2 may, for example, represent a di(C,~4 alkoxy)methyl group. The reaction of the compound of formula (II) with the compound of formula (III) is preferably effected at elevated temperatures e.g. from 90--130"C and preferably in the presence of an inert solvent, e.g. an aromatic hydrocarbon such as, for example, benzene.
In reaction (a) the initially protected aldehyde group may, for example, be an acetal group in which case the free aldehyde group is preferably converted into a group more stable to the action of dilute acid than the acetal group, for example an oxime or a thioacetal group or it may be masked by reduction to hydroxymethyl e.g. with sodium borohydride, followed by protection of the hydroxyl group e.g. by acylation or etherification. The initially protected aldehyde group may then be deprotected by treatment with dilute acid. In this way side chain B may be introduced before side chain A.
Reaction (b) involves deprotection of a protected aldehyde group or reconversion of a masked aldehyde group into a free aldehyde group. Such reactions may be carried out according to methods well known in the art. Thus an acetal group may be cleaved by hydrolysis e.g. under mild acidic conditions. A thioacetal group may be cleaved by reaction with a mercuric salt e.g. the chloride.
An oxime group may be cleaved, for example with titanous chloride.
A protected hydroxymethyl group e.g. an acyloxymethyl group may be deprotected to form a free hydroxymethyl group; a hydroxymethyl group may be converted to an aldehyde group by oxidation, e.g. with pyridinium chlorochromate.
An esterified carboxyl group may be reduced to an aldehyde group, tor example using sodium bis(2-methoxyethoxy)aluminium hydride in the presence of an amine e.g. pyrrolidine.
In reactions (c) and (d) a free aldehyde group is reacted with a ketone or with a
Wittig reagent whereby the desired side chain is introduced. When the reagent is a ketone, the reaction is effected in the presence of a base e.g. an organic base such as pyridine or pyrrolidine (used preferably in the presence of a carboxylic acid, e.g. acetic acid) or a lithium amide in the form of a hindered base e.g. a lithium diisopropylamide so as to form an enolate salt in solution. The reaction is conveniently effected in a hydrocarbon or ether solvent e.g. benzene, diethyl ether or dioxan or mixtures thereof. A preferred temperature for the reaction is -70 to -200C. Reaction with a ketone reagent leads to formation of a side chain having a hydroxyl group on the I-position of the chain, which chain may dehydrate spontaneously under the reaction conditions employed to form a double bond in the 2-position of the chain. If the dehydration does not occur spontaneously then it may be deliberately effected as a separate reaction step e.g. by warming in an alkaline alcoholic solution.
When a Wittig reagent is employed the reaction yields a chain having a double bond in the 2-positiuon of the chain directly. The Wittig reagent may, for example, be a phosphorane of formula (R6)3 P=CH CO R6 wherein R5 is as defined for Rsa or for R5b and Re represents an alkyl group, preferably containing 1A carbon atoms, or an aryl group, preferably monocyclic e.g. a phenyl group. The reaction may conveniently be effected in a non-polar solvent, for example, a hydrocarbon. halogenated hydrocarbon or alcohol, e.g. toluene,- benzene or ethanol. The reaction temperature is preferably in the range 200 to 1200C.
According to a third embodiment, a phosphonate of formula (R7O)2.PO.CH2.CO.R5 wherein R5 is as defined above and R7 represents an alkyl group may be used as a Wittig reagent in which case the reaction is effected in the presence of a base such as, for example, an alkali metal hydride e.g. sodium hydride, conveniently in an ether solvent e.g. tetrahydrofuran.
In a yet further embodiment, the Wittig reagent may be a phosphorane of formula R5 P=Cfl-R5 wherein R5 is as defined above and R" represents an aryl e.g. a phenyl group, and is used preferably in the presence of an alcoholic solvent e.g. isopropanol.
The reactions (c) and (d) can be effected in either order, depending on whether or not the aldehyde group in the starting material for the reaction is in the 1-position or the 2-position. Whichever of these reactions is effected first will result in loss of configuration at the point of attachment of the side-chain to the ring so that a mixture of a- and isomers will be obtained. These can be separated or the mixture may be used as such for the introduction of the second side-chain A or B.
The second of the reactions (c) and (d) however, aiways introduces the second sidechain in the trans-configuration relative to the first. Thus, starting from the compound of formula (IV) in which the group in the 3-position is in the aconfiguration, two isomeric products are obtained wherein the groups A and B in the 1- and 2- positions are in the two possible trans-configurations with respect to each other. However, as indicated above, the formulae used herein denote both optical isomers of a particular compound and it will be seen that one of the two trans-compounds is equivalent to the mirror image of the other trans-compound but with the 3-substituent in the opposite (i.e. -) configuration. Consequently, if the two reactions (c) and (d) are conducted without separation of isomers, the product can be represented as a mixture of compounds having the same configuration in the 1- and 2-positions but isomeric at the 3-position.
Reaction (e), when employed, involves the deprotection of R' to form a free hydroxyl group, which reaction may be effected according to conventional methods. Thus, for example, when R' represents an acyloxy group e.g. an acetoxy group, the free hydroxyl group may be liberated by alkaline hydrolysis. Where R' is an allylic acyloxy group, alkaline hydrolysis is preferably effected under mild anhydrous conditions e.g. using an alkali metal hydroxide in an anhydrous alkanol such as methanol. Where R' represents a tri(hydrocarbyl)silyl group the free hydroxyl group may be liberated by acid hydrolysis treatment with fluoride ions. A 2-tetrahydropyranyl group may be cleaved by acid hydrolysis. The free hydroxyl group thus liberated may, if desired, be reacted to introduce another protecting group according to reaction (f). Such an exchange of protecting groups may be desirable, for example, to prevent hydrogenolysis during reaction (h) such as is described hereinafter.
In reaction (f) any free hydroxyl groups may be reacted with a suitable esterifying or etherifying reagent to form protected hydroxyl groups. The reaction will generally be effected in a conventional manner with, for example, a silylating or other etherifying agent e.g. a trialkylsilyl halide, a mono- or bis-silylated acetamide, dihydropyran or a reactive derivative of a carboxylic acid e.g. an acid halide or anhydride.
According to reaction (g) a protected carboxyl group may be subjected to deprotection, conveniently by mild basic hydrolysis e.g. using dilute aqueous or alcoholic caustic soda or caustic potash at slightly elevated temperature. This procedure may result in deprotection of protected hydroxyl groups so that further protection may be needed in respect of these groups.
Reduction of the double-bond in the six-membered ring and, if desired, of one or more unsaturated bonds in the side chains may be carried out according to reaction (h).
Reduction may be carried out according to a number of methods depending on whether or not it is desired to hydrogenate all or some of the unsaturated groups present and/or to retain or hydrogenolyse any protecting groups in the molecule.
If it is desired to avoid hydrogenolysis of certain groups or to retain the allylic double bond in the side chain, reduction may be effected by using hydrogen and a nickel catalyst as described by C.A. Brown, J. Org. Chem., (1970) 35, 1900.
Reduction is preferably carried out in an alkanol solvent e.g. ethanol or methanol.
An allylic hydroxyl group must be protected during the reduction with a protecting group, for example an ester group e.g., an acyloxy group or an ether group e.g. t-butyldimethyl silyl or 2-tetrahydropyranyl, or by the presence of an alkyl group on the same carbon atoms. This procedure also reduces the allylic double bond in the ring.
!f it is desired to carry out a non-selective reduction of the double bonds, then this may be effected using hydrogen and a noble metal catalyst, e.g. a palladium catalyst, conveniently in an alkanol or ester solvent, e.g. ethanol or ethyl acetate.
Under these conditions, hydrogenolysis of allylic hydroxyls in the ring and the side chain may be effected. An allylic hydroxyl in the ring should thus be protected during hydrogenation with noble metals to avoid removal of the oxygen function by hydrogenolysis, e.g. by a tri(hydrocarbyl) silyl group. Allylic hydroxyls in the side chains, if present, may be similarly protected in order to avoid hydrogenolysis.
Any keto groups, which may have been introduced, may be reduced to a -CHOH-- group according to reaction (i). This will preferably be effected using a metal hydride reducing agent such as a borohydride, for example of zinc, potassium, sodium or calcium, or of a complex metal hydride such as lithium aluminium hydride or a trialkoxy aluminium hydride of lithium. The reducingstrength of the reducing agent used will depend on whether or not other groups in the compound are susceptible to reduction by this method, for example a carboxyl or protected carboxyl group. Reaction is preferably carried out at low temperature and at a controlled slightly alkaline pH e.g. from 8-9 in the case of potassium or sodium borohydride.
According to reaction 0) protected hydroxyl groups other than at R' may be subjected to deprotection. In the case where hydroxyl groups elsewhere in the molecule are protected e.g. by a trialkylsilyl group, these may be deprotected by hydrolysis with a dilute carboxylic acid e.g. acetic acid or a quaternary ammonium fluoride salt or lithium fluoride in dimethylformamide as solvent.
Any -CHOH groups in the side-chain A and B or in X may be oxidised to carbonyl groups using reaction (k). This is preferably carried out using an acidified dichromate solution if free carboxyl groups are present in the molecule. Reaction may, if desired, be carried out in acetone or ethers. If free carboxyl groups are not present, the preferred oxidising agent is pyridinium chlorochromate or chromium trioxide in pyridine in a halogenated hydroc and inert solvents e.g. ether solvents such as diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran or dioxan are preferred.
According to a modification of the invention the side chain A and/or B may be introduced by a reaction in which a free aldehyde group in the 1- or 2- position of the six-membered ring is firstly reacted with a reagent of formula (R3m)(R4m)CH.Rm (where R3" and R4" together represent a trialkylphosphoranylidene or triarylphosphoranylidene group and Rm is an esterified carboxyl group or a saturated or unsaturated straight or branched aliphatic group having up to 12 carbon atoms exclusive of substituents and carrying a terminal esterified carboxyl group), the product thus formed is reduced whereby the terminal esterified carboxyl group in the group Rm is converted into an aldehyde group and the said aldehyde-containing grouping thus introduced is converted into the required side chain A or B by reaction with a further reagent of formula (Va) or (Vb) as hereinbefore defined (wherein (CO)naR5a or (CO)nbR5b has up to 12 carbon atoms exclusive of substituents and R5b can additionallv be a carboxyl or protected carboxyl group when nb is 0) respectively. The reaction with the reagent of formula (Va) and/or (Vb) is preferably effected under the conditibns described above in relation to reactions (c) and (d). Reduction of the esterified carboxyl group in the group Rm may be effected, for example, using sodium bis(2-methoxyethoxy)aluminium hydride in the presence of an amine e.g. pyrrolidine.
According to a further modification the process according to the invention may include the step of protecting a free carboxyl group preferably by esterification, for example methylation e.g. by reaction with diazomethane.
According to still further modification the process according to the invention may include the step of protecting an oxo group for example by ketal formation and/or the step of deprotecting a protected oxo group for example, by hydrolysis of a ketal
A number of the reactions described above lead to the formation of isomers which isomers may be separated before the next reaction step in the sequence or at a later stage in the sequence as is convenient. Separation may, for example, be effected by chromatography e.g. on silica gel.
As indicated above reactions (a) to (I) may be carried out in any appropriate order such as is exemplified hereinafter. The ability to choose the order in which the side chains are introduced enables sides reactions to be avoided in many instances by ensuring that groupings sensitive to a particular reaction, for example reduction, are introduced subsequent to that reaction.
Thus, particular types of compounds according to the invention may be prepared by the following preferred reaction sequences:
1. for the preparation of compounds of general formula (I) wherein X represents a protected hydroxymethylene group, A represents an alk-trans-l-enyl group having from 5 to 16 carbon atoms and carrying a protected hydroxyl substituent in the y-position and B represents an alkyl group having from 5 to 16 carbon atoms and carrying a terminal protected carboxyl group:

(where R', R2 and Rc are as hereinbefore defined and R9 is as defined above) is obtained, which product is then deprotected to liberate the free aldehyde in the 1position and then reacted with a reagent of formula (Ar2)3P=CIIRb as hereinbefore defined; the product thus obtained being then reduced by means of hydrogen and a nickel catalyst whereby a product of formula (I) is obtained.
The compound of formula (I) obtained may, if desired, be subsequently reacted whereby the protecting group of the protected hydroxymethylene group in

Any of the three preferred sequences described above may include a step of separating isomers which step may be carried out at any appropriate stage in the process using, for example preparative layer chromatography for example on silica gel.
The invention is further illustrated by way of the following non-limiting
Examples. Examples 1--13, 2641, 67, 76 and 112 illustrate the preparation of intermediates only: in those Examples which are merely stated to follow the procedure of an earlier Example, the molar ratios of reactants were the same as in the earlier Example: all temperatures are in "C; n.m.r. spectra were determined in deuterochloroform; and preparative chromatography was carried out on silica plates.
Example 1.
6a-A cewxy-2-dimethoxymethyI4-cycIohexane-a-carboxahtehyde.
A mixture of freshly distilled 4-acetoxybutadiene (22g) and 4,4-dimethoxycrotonaldehyde (26g) in benzene (30 ml) containing methylene blue (0.05g) as a polymerisation inhibitor was heated under reflux for.72 hrs. After removal of lowboiling material under reduced pressure the residue was fractionally distilled. The fraction b.p. l05-l200/0.03mm afforded the title compound as a straw coloured viscous oil. n.m.r. 0.32 (CHO), 4.05 (2 vinyl H),
7.96 z (COOCH3).
Example 2.
3a-Acetoxy-2-(3-oxo-trans - I - octenyl) - 4 - cyclohexene - p - carboxaldehyde di
methyl acetal (Mixture oj epimers at ring position 2)
2-Oxoheptyltriphenylphosphonium bromide (254g) suspended in diethyl ether (I I) and water (I I) was shaken with a solution of sodium hydroxide (25.4g) in water (250 ml) until complete solution was obtained. After separating the ethereal solution and washing with brine, evaporation of the ether afforded 2-oxoheptylidenetriphenyl-phosphorane which was dissolved in hot petroleum, b.p. 8-100", (1. 5 1) and the solution obtained was boiled to remove residual water from the phosphorane.
6a-Acetoxy-2-dimethoxymethyl-4-cycIohexene-a-carboxaldehyde (Example 1) (127 g) was then added and the resultant solution was heated under reflux for 16 hrs. After cooling and removal of crystalline triphenylphosphine oxide by filtration the residual solution was evaporated under reduced pressure. The resultant crude product was purified initially by stirring in concentrated ethereal solution with an equal weight of sodium metabisulphite as a 30% w/v aqueous solution.

The unchromatographed product from Example 2 (175 g), dissolved in anhydrous methanol (300 ml), was added to a warm (400) solution of potassium hydroxide (28g) in anhydrous methanol (2.5 1). After keeping the mixture thus obtained at 400 in the absence of water for 6 minutes the product was isolated by pouring into excess brine and extraction with diethyl ether. Evaporation of the solvents afforded a dark oil which was chromatographed on silica gel, eluting with petroleum ether/ethyl acetate mixtures. From the chromatographic fractions was obtained the title compound (57g) as a pale viscous oil; n.m.r. 2.97 (d,d, J = 16 Hz,

The product of Example 2 (7.2g) in methanol (720 ml) was treated with an
aqueous solution of sodium citrate (7.2g in 720ml water) and the resultant mixture
was cooled to 40 and adjusted to pH 8.5 with 2N sodium hydroxide. Potassium
borohydride (I .5g) was added thereto and the mixture obtained was kept at 40 and
pH 8.5 for I hour by the dropwise addition of 5% w/v citric acid as required. The
pH was then adjusted to about 4 with 5% w/v citric acid, diluted with excess brine
and extracted into ethyl acetate. After washing and drying, evaporation of the
solvent afforded the crude product, which was purified by chromatography on
silica gel to give two title compounds. On n.m.r. the 3S-isomer shows the spectrum 3.90-4.60 (4 vinyl H), 4.81 (CH OAc), 5.89 (CH-OH),

epimeric acetates and silyl ethers)
The product of Example 9 (3.7g) in tetrahydrofuran (40 ml) was treated with 2N hydrochloric acid (4 ml) in a flask which was then flushed with nitrogen, stoppered and allowed to stand at room temperature overnight. The aldehyde product thus obtained was isolated by pouring the reaction mixture into brine containing excess sodium carbonate and extraction with diethyl ether. After washing the ether extracts with brine and drying over sodium sulphate, removal of the ether afforded unstable aldehyde which was immediately dissolved in toluene (40 ml) and dried again over sodium sulphate.
(5-Methoxycarbonyl-2,4-pentadienyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide (12g), suspended in a mixture of toluene (100 ml) and methylene chloride (10 ml), was shaken with an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (1.6g in 160 ml) until all the solid had dissolved. The blood red organic phase was separated, the aqueous phase washed with toluene (35 ml) and the combined organic phases were washed with brine and dried over sodium sulphate. After removal of the methylene chloride at 300 in vacuo, the resultant toluene solutions of the phosphorane and aldehyde were mixed and heated under reflux for 16 hrs. The toluene was then removed in vacuo and the residue obtained was treated with a 5:1 mixture of petroleum ether and ethyl acetate which precipitated some crystalline material. Evaporation cf the filtrate gave a reddish oil (6.3g) which was dissolved in dry dimethylformamide (40 ml) and the solution obtained was treated with imidazole (4 g) and t-butyldimethylsilyl chloride (4g). The resultant mixture was warmed at 400 for 16 hrs in the absence of water. The product was isolated by pouring the mixture into water containing a little sodium chloride and extraction with diethyl ether. The combined ether extracts were washed with dilute brine followed by drying over sodium sulphate. Evaporation afforded a yellow oil which was purified by chromatography on silica gel, eluting with a 20:1 mixture of petroleum ether and ethyl acetate. The title compound (2.2 g) was obtained as a pale yellow oil. n.m.r. 3.4--4.6 (10 vinyl H), 4.82(CH-OAc), 5.85 (CH-O Si Bu tMe2), 6.10 (COO CH3), 8.0 (OCO CH3),

The product of Example 11 (2.2g) was hydrogenated at room temperature and 20 p.s.i. in ethanol over a P1 nickel catalyst [see C.A. Brown, J. Org. Chem (1970), 35, 1900) prepared from nickel acetate (2.2g). After 16 hrs. the hydrogenation was stopped, the catalyst was removed and the solution was rehydrogenated until the required 4 equivalents of hydrogen had been taken up. The product was isolated by filtration from the catalyst, evaporation of the ethanol and re-isolation of the residue from an ether solution which was washed with 5% aqueous citric acid. The product was a colourless oil which was normally used without further purification in the next stage of the process.

The resultant oil was dissolved in dry dimethylformamide (2.5 ml) and treated with imidazole (0.23g) and t-butyldimethylsilyi chloride (0.23g). After standing at room temperature in a stoppered vessel for 68 hours the mixture was diluted with water and extracted with diethyl ether. The extracts were washed thoroughly with water, then with brine, dried and evaporated to give a crude silyl ether (0.7g). This was dissolved in methanol (36 ml) and treated with aqueous sodium hydroxide (0.53g in 9 ml water). After stirring at room temperature for 3 days the crude silylated hydroxy acid was isolated by acidification and ether extraction. The crude acid (0.6g) was then oxidised in ethereal solution (6 ml) by stirring with an aqueous solution of sodium dichromate (0.32g in 6 ml water) containing sulphuric acid (0.29 ml). After 24 hrs. at room temperature the product was isolated by dilution with water and ether extraction.
The water-washed extracts were dried and evaporated to give the crude keto acid silyl ether (0.5g). This was then dissolved in a 3:2:1 mixture of tetrahydrofuran, acetic acid and water (5 ml) and heated at 500 overnight. Evaporation of the solvents under reduced pressure gave the crude product which was purified by preparative t.l.c. (20:1 chloroform/methanol). Elution of the desired band with methanol followed by re-isolation with ether washed with 5% citric acid afforded the title compound, n.m.r. 6.3 (CH-OH), 7.64 T (CH2CO2H and CH2CO).

A suspension of 5-methoxycarbonyl-2,4-pentadienyltriphenylphosphonium bromide (7.6g) in toluene (380 ml) and water (380 ml) was shaken with sodium hydroxide (1.52g in 5 ml) until complete dissolution was obtained. The resultant blood-red solution of the phosphorane in toluene was separated, washed with brine, dried and concentrated to half its bulk. To this solution was added the product of Example 45 (2.4g) in toluene (20 ml) and the mixture obtained was heated under reflux for 18 h. After evaporation of the toluene and treatment of the residue with petroleum ether/ethyl acetate mixtures some crystalline material was filtered off and the filtrate, after evaporation, was dissolved in dry dimethylformamide (30 ml) and treated with imidazole (3g) and t-butyldimethylsilyl chloride (3g). The mixture was warmed at 40 for 16 h in the absence of water. The product obtained was isolated by dilution with water and extraction with diethyl ether. The water-washed extracts were dried over sodium sulphate and evaporated to give a yellow oil which was purified by chromatography on silica gel eluting with a 20:1 mixture of petroleum ether and ethyl acetate. The title compound (2.lug) was eluted as a yellow oil.

Sodium hydride as a 50% dispersion in oil (3.12g) was freed of oil was washing with petroleum ether (3 times). The resultant petroleum ether-wet slurry was dried in a stream of nitrogen. Dry dimethyl sulphoxide (60ml) was then added thereto and the mixture obtained was heated at 70--800 until all gas evolution had ceased.
The resultant solution was allowed to cool and any precipitate to settle. 30 ml of the clear supernatant solution was carefully withdrawn and transferred to a flask containing 4-carboxybutyltriphenylphosphonium bromide (7.2g) which had been flushed with nitrogen. The mixture obtained was stirred under nitrogen for 15 mins before the addition of the product of Example 42 (2.5g) in dry dimethyl sulphoxide (10 ml) after which the resultant mixture was kept for I h at 250 and then warmed to 50 for 3 h. The crude acid was isolated by dilution with water, extraction with diethyl ether to remove unwanted neutral material, then acidification of the aqueous phase with 5% citric acid followed by ether extraction.
Evaporation of the extracts gave the crude acid (3.5g) which was purified by preparative t.l.c. (9:1 CHCldMeOH). n.m.r. 3.6-5.2, 7.96 t. The acid was then esterified by treatment with an excess of ethereal diazomethane. Excess diazomethane was then destroyed with acetic acid and the resultant ethereal solution of the product was washed with dilute sodium carbonate solution, with brine and evaporated. The title ester was a colourless oil, n.m.r. 4.5.0, 6.28, 7.62, 7.9-8.0, 9.08 t.

To a solution of nickel acetate (1.2g) in water (10 ml) contained in a 250 ml flask flushed with nitrogen, was carefully added powdered sodium borohydride.
After the vigorous gas evolution had subsided. the deposited black granular catalyst was separated by decantation under nitrogen and washed twice with methanol (30 ml) by a decantation procedure.
A solution of the product of Example 48 (1.2g), in methanol (50 ml), was then added to the catalyst and the mixture was hydrogenated at room temperature and atmospheric pressure until the required amount of hydrogen had been taken up.
(Normally about 24 h). Removal of the catalyst by filtration and the solvent by evaporation then afforded the title compound (1.2g).

Into a 250 ml flask containing toluene (34 ml) flushed with nitrogen was
introduced a solution of sodium bis(2-methoxyethoxy)aluminium hydride (70%
solution in benzene; 34 ml). The flask was then fitted with a septum cap. The
resultant solution was cooled in ice and treated slowly via a syringe with
morpholine (11g) in toluene (60 ml). (Hydrogen evolution necessitated the
presence of a small 'bleed' needle in the septum cap to avoid pressure build-up).
After the addition was complete, the reagent was transferred dropwise via a
syringe to a stirred, cooled (-40 ) solution of the product of Example 67 (4.8g) in
toluene (100 ml) under nitrogen. The temperature was kept below -40 during the
addition. The reaction mixture thus obtained was stirred at -400 to -600 under
nitrogen for 5 h, and the mixture was then poured onto excess crushed ice. The
resultant mixture was acidified with 5% citric acid and extracted with diethyl ether.
The extracts were washed, dried and evaporated to give the crude product (4.5g) which was purified by chromatography on silica gel (petroleum ether/ethyl acetate,
