| Title: | 2-Decarboxy-2-hydroxymethyl-4-halo-5,9-epoxy-9-deoxy-PGF.sub.1 compounds |
| Abstract: | The present invention relates to novel 2-decarboxy-2-hydroxymethyl-4-halo-5,9-epoxy-9-deoxy-PGF.sub.1 compounds, which are intermediates useful for the preparation of corresponding 5,9.alpha.-epoxy-9-deoxy-PGF.sub.1 and 5,9-epoxy-9-deoxy-4,5-didehydro-PGF.sub.1 compounds. These end products are employed for induction of a variety of prostacyclinlike pharmacological effects. Accordingly, these end products are useful pharmacological agents for the same purposes for which prostacyclin is employed. |

A compound according to claim 1, wherein W is .alpha.-OH:.beta.-H. 3. A compound according to claim 2, wherein L is --(CH.sub.2).sub.n --, n being 2, 3, or 4, wherein Q is oxo or .alpha.-OH:.beta.-R.sub.8 and wherein R.sub.8 is hydrogen, methyl, or ehtyl, and wherein R.sub.4 is n-pentyl, 1,1-dimethylpentyl, 1,1-difluoropentyl, phenoxymethyl or phenylethyl. 4. A compound according to claim 3, wherein X is trans-CH.dbd.CH--. |
