Bicyclic prostaglandin analogs and method of synthesis

摘要

New organopalladium reactions involving the addition of pi-allylpalladium compounds to strained bicyclic alkenes, and subsequent chain extension reactions employing the chemistry of organopalladium compounds are disclosed. By these techniques a large number of bicyclic prostaglandin analogs are prepared, which are useful as inhibitors of arachidonic acid induced platelet aggregation, and are specific inhibitors of thromboxane synthetase.
