Synthesis of Benzodioxane Prostacyclin Analogue

Abstract
Benzodioxane prostacyclin analogue ((.+-.)-1) was synthesized via stereocontrolled construction of cyclopentanobenzodioxane (17) (7, R2 = MOM) utilizing the Mitsunobu reaction, and subsequent introduction of the propenyl group into 17 by radical C-C coupling leading to 19 (8, R2 = MOM).
