Prostaglandins and congeners. 16. Synthesis and bronchodilator activity of dl-11-deoxy-3-thiaprostaglandins

Abstract
The interesting bronchodilator activity [in guinea pigs] of certain dl-11-deoxy-3-thiaprostaglandins and their preparation by the conjugate addition of appropriately substituted (E)-1-alkenyllithio cuprate reagents to requisite cyclopentenones are described.
