including of course not only the optically active iSOmer
represented by formula XI but also its mirror image.
The novel formula-XI optically active prostaglandin
analogs and corresponding racemic compounds of this inven-
tion are each useful for the same purposes as describedabove for PGE1J PGE2, PGA1, PGA2, and PGF2a and are used
for those purposes in the same manner known in the art,
including oral~ sublingual, buccal, rectal, intravaginal, -
intrauterine, or topical administration.
For many applications these novel prostaglandin esters
which are obtained from certain specified phenols and
naphthols have advantages over the corresponding known -~
. .
prostaglandin compounds. Thus, these substituted phenyl -
and naphthyl esters are surprisingly stable compounds hav- ~ ;
ing outstanding shelf-life and thermal stability. In con-
trast to the acid form of these prostaglandins, these ` ;
~esters are not subject to acid-catalyzed decomposition
. ; . .
either by elimination of water or by epimerization. Thus ;-
these~compounds have improv~ed stability either in solid, ;~
liquid, or solution form. In oral administration these
~; ;esters~have shown surprisingly greater efficacy than the ~`
corresponding free acids~or lower alkyl esters, whether ~;
because of longer duration of biological activity or
.~. , .
because of improved lipophil~icity and absorption 7s not `~
certain. These esters offer a~further advantage in that
they have low soiubility~in water and the body fluids and
are therefore retained longer at~the site of administra- `
tion.
A particularly outstanding advantage of many of these
substituted phenyl and naphthyl esters is that they are
~ 1 3 ~
-, , .
' :'.
3086-F

obtained in free-flowing crystalline form, generally of
moderately high melting point, in the range 90-180 C.
This form is especially desirable for ease of handling,
administering, and purifying. These crystals are highly
stable, for example showing practically no decomposition
at accelerated storage tests at 65 C., in comparison with
the corresponding liquid alkyl esters or the free acids of
the PGE's and PGA's. This quality is advantageous because
the compound does not lose its potency and does not be- :
come contaminated with decomposition products. ~;
These crystalline esters also provide a means of
purifying PGE1, 15-methyl-PGE1, 15(R)-15-methyl-PGE1, 15-
ethyl-PGE1, 15(R)-15-ethyl-PGE,J PGE2, 15-methyl-PGE2,

PGF2~, 15(R)-15-methyl-PGF2a, 15-ethyl-PGF2a, or 15(R)-15-
ethyl-PGF2~ which are first converted to one of these es-
ters, recrystallized until pure, and then recovered as the
free acid. One method of recovering the free acid is by
~enzymatic hydrolysis of the ester, for example with a lip-
ase. See German Patent 2,242,792, Derwent Farmdoc No.

~plified hereinafter. For convenience, the above prosta- ~;
glandin or prostaglandin analog is referred to 25 "the PG
compound". The term "phenol" is used in a generic sense, `
inciuding both phenols and naphthols.
Various methods are available for preparing these
.,
esters, differing as to yield and purity of product. Thus~
by one method, the PG compound is converted to a tertiary
amine salt~ reacted with pivaloyl halide to give the mixed
acid anhydride and then reacted with the phenol. Altern- ~ ,
-21-
,,. ;
3086-F
~0~5132
ately, instead of pivaloyl halide, an alkyl or phenylsul-
fonyl halide is usedJ such as p-toluenesulfonyl chloride.
See for example B~lgian patents 775,106 and 776,294, Der-
went Farmdoc Nos. 33705T and ~9011T
Still another method is by the use of the coupling
reagent, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. See Fieser et al., :
"Reagents for Organic Synthesis", pp. 2~1-2~6, John Wiley ~;
and Sons, Inc., New York (1967) The PG compound is con-
tacted with one to ten molar equivalents of the phenol in
the presence of 2-10 molar equivalents of dicyclohexyl- ~ -
carbodiimide in pyridine as a solvent. -~
The preferred novel~process for the preparation of
these esters~ however, comprises the steps (1) forming a
mixed anhydride with the PG compound and a chloroformate
ester, e.g. isobutylchloroformate in the presence of a ter-
tiary amine and (2) reacting the anhydride with an appro- ;
priate phenol or naphthol.
The mixed anhydride is represented by the formula:

The~anhydride is formed readily at temperatures in the
range -40 to +60 C.~, preferably at -10 to +10 C. so that
.
the rate is reasonably fast and yet side reactions are mini-

used in excess, for example 1.2 molar equivalents up to 4.0
per mole of the PG compound. The reaction is preferably
done in a solvent and for this purpose acetone is pre~erred,
although other relatively non~-polarsolvents are used such
as acetonitrile, dichloromethane, and chloroform The - -
reaction is run in the presence of a tertiary amine3 ~or
example triethylamine, and ~he co-formed amine hydrochlor-
ide usually crystallizes out, but need not be removed ~or -
the next step.
The anhydride is usually not isolated butis reacted
directly in solution with the-phenol~ preferably in the
presence o~ a tertiary amine such as pyridine.
The phenol is preferablyused in equivalent amounts or
in excess to insure that all of the mixed anhydride is con-
verted to ester. Excess phenol is separat~d from the pro-
duct by methods described herein or known in the art, for
example by crystallization. The tertiary amine is not ~
only a basic catalyst for the esteri~ication but also a ; -
convenient solv-ent. Other examples of tertiary amines use-
ful for thi 5 pU rpose include N-methylmorpholine, triethyl- ~ i
amineJ diisoprQpylethylamine, and dimethylaniline. Although ; ;
they may be us~d, 2-methylpyridine and quinoline result in
a slow reaction. A highly hindered amine such as 2~6- ;
~dimethylpy~idine is not useful because o~ the slowness o~
the reaction.
The reaction with the anhydride proceeds smoothly at
room temperature (about 20 to ~O C.) and can be followed
..
in the conventional manner with thin layer chromatography
(TLC), usually;being found complete within 1-4 hours.

Solid esters are converted to a free-flowing crystal-
line form on crystallization from a variety of solvents,
including ethyl acetate, tetrahydrofuran, methanol, and
acetone, by cooling or evaporating a saturated solution of ,
the ester in the solvent or by adding a miscible non-solvent
such as diethyl ether, hexane, or water. The crystals are
then collected by conventional techniques, e.g. filtration
or-centrifugation, washed with a small amount oF solvent,
and dried under reduced pressure. They may also be dried
in a current of warm nitrogen or argon, or by warming to
about 75 C. Although the crystals are normally pure enough s
for many applications, they may be recrystallized by the ~;
same general techniques to achieve improved purity after
each recrystallizat-ion.
