/ BACKGROUND OF TIIEiNVENTIOft ,
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is a process, including intermediates, to produce
atanoprost, a pharmaceutical agent useful in treating ophthalmic conditions.
2. Description of the Related Art
US Patent 5,422,368 discloses latanoprost (Example 2) and its usefulness as an
ophthalmic agent. The patent discloses a process (Example 2) to prepare latanoprost

and two closely related compounds.
There are very limited numbers of examples of reductions of Ap-unsaturated
enones with chlorodiisopinocampheylborane. J. Am. Chem. Soc, 110(5), 1539-46
(1988) describes a single example of reduction of an acyclic aryl enone, 4-phenyl-3-
buten-2-one, with chlorodiisopinocampheylborane giving an 81% eantiomeric
selectivity, and no examples of simple acyclic non-aryl conjugated enones.
Bull. Korean Chem. Soc, 15(12), 1033-4 (1994) addresses the issue of 1,2
versus 1,4 reduction with chlorodiisopinocampheylborane but did not discuss the
enantioselectivity or diastereoselectivity of the reductions.
Tetrahedron Letters 1067-1070 (1976) discloses a cyclopentane diol-acid
where the side-chain did not contain any aromatic functionality.

the enone (III). Suitable solvents include THF, methylene chloride and DME and mixtures thereof. MTBE and toluene alone are not operable. The use of a cosolver.;, such as hexane, heptane, isooctane or similar hydrocarbons is not necessary but is preferred. This is important since (-)-chlorodiisopinPcampheylborane is available 5 commercially as a solution in these solvents. MTBE and toluene can be used as the cosolveni. The narure of the solvent has virtually no effect with regard to the 15(Sl/15(R) ratio in the product It is preferred that from about 3 to about 4 equivalents of (-)-chlorodjisopinocampheylborane be used; it is more preferred tha: ai least 3.5 equivalents of (-)-chlorodiisopinoc3rnphcyIrporane be used. With fewer 10 equivalents the reaction is incomplete; there is no improvement in rate or selectivity with more equivalents. When the (-)-chlarodiisopinoPamphcy]borane is contacted with the cc.p-unsaturated enone (111), the temperature should be maintained less than 0°. It :s preferred that the temperature be maintained at less than -20c; it is more preferred that the temperature be maintained in the range of from about-35 to about is _45c. Above -35° the selectivity decreases and below about -45° the rate becomes ioc slow to be practical.
When the reaction is complete, the excess (-Vchlorodiisopinocampheylboranc must be destroyed by use of a boron complexing agent which is selected from thi; group consisting of water, C-Cfi alcohols and diols, ethanolaminc, diethanolammc, 20 triethanolamine and mixtures thereof. It is preferred that the boron complexing agent be group be water and diethanolamme; it is more preferred that the complexing agent be water.
It is preferred that pnor to step (2), the reaction mixture of s:cp(l)is contac.'ed with a readily reducible aldehyde or ketone.

the enone (111). Suitable solvents include THF, methylene chloride and DME and mixtures thereof. N4TBE and toluene alone are not operable. The use of a cosolver.:, such as hexane, heptane, isooctane or similar hydrocarbons is not necessary but is preferred. This is important since C-)-chlorodiisopinocamphey]borane is available 5 commercially as a solution in these solvents. MTBE and toluene can be used as the cosolvent. The narure of the solvent has virtually no effect with regard to the 15(S)/15(R) ratio in the product. It is preferred that from about 3 to about 4 equivalents of (-)-chlorodiisopinocampheylborans be used, it is more preferred that at least 3.5 equivalents of (-)-chIorodiisopinocamphcyIborane be used. With fewer \0 equivalents the reaction is incomplete; there is no improvement in rate or selectivity with more equivalents. "When the (-)-chlorodiisopinocamphcylborane is contacted with the a,p-unsamrated enone (III), the temperature should be maintained less than 0°. It is preferred that the temperature be maintained at less than -20°; it is more preferred that the temperature be maintained in the range of from about-35 to about !5 -45°. Above -35° the selectivity decreases and below about —45° the rate becomes too slow to be practical.
When the reaction is complete, the excess (-)-chiorodiisopinocampheylborarrc must be destroyed by use of a boron completing agent which is selected "from the group consisting of watzr, C 20 rriethanolamine and mixtures thereof.
