Development of efficient and stereoselective synthesis of prostaglandins (PGs) is of utmost importance, owing to their valuable medicinal applications and unique chemical structures. We report here a unified synthesis of PGs cloprostenol, bimatoprost, PGF2α, fluprostenol, and travoprost from the readily available dichloro-containing bicyclic ketone6aguided by biocatalytic retrosynthesis, in 11-12 steps with 3.8-8.4% overall yields. An unprecedented Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase (BVMO)-catalyzed stereoselective oxidation of6a(99% ee), and a ketoreductase (KRED)-catalyzed diastereoselective reduction of enones12(87?:?13 to 99?:?1 dr) were utilized in combination for the first time to set the critical stereochemical configurations under mild conditions. Another key transformation was the copper(ii)-catalyzed regioselectivep-phenylbenzoylation of the secondary alcohol of diol10(9.3?:?1 rr). This study not only provides an alternative route to the highly stereoselective synthesis of PGs, but also showcases the usefulness and great potential of biocatalysis in construction of complex molecules.

A process for the synthesis and purification of F-series prostaglandin compounds and synthetic intermediates used to prepare them. The synthetic intermediates are solid and may be purified by precipitation and therefore may form the representative F-series prostaglandin compounds such as latanoprost, bimatoprost, fluprostenol, cloprostenol, and substituted analogs therefrom in highly pure forms.
