title: Prostaglandins and congeners. 15. Synthesis and bronchodilator activity of dl-11-deoxy-15- or 16-alkylprostaglandins.
abstract: The synthesis of dl-11-doxy-15- or 16-alkylprostaglandins by the conjugate addition of appropriately substituted lithium alanate or lithium cuprate reagents to several cyclopentenones is described as is the preparation of the requisite intermediate (E)-1-iodo-1-alkenyl compounds 4, 22, 23, and 31. The bronchodilator activity of these prostaglandin congeners is presented.
