Abstract:
This invention relates to 11,12-secoprostaglandins and processes for their manufacture. These compounds have prostaglandin-like biological activity and are particularly useful as renal vasodilators, for the treatment of hypertension, for the prevention of thrombus formation, in preventing gastric secretion, and as regulators of the immune response.
Abstract:
A continuous process for the preparation of the C1-C10 alkyl chrysanthemate esters is disclosed. The use of this novel process is found to be far more rapid as well as less hazardous than the batch-type process presently employed for the preparation of alkyl chrysanthemate esters while also producing the latter esters in yields which are substantially greater than those attainable by means of this batch-type process.
