Abstract: A step-economical synthesis of clinprost is reported that concludes with 3 different transition metal-catalyzed reactions: Pd-catalyzed decarboxylation with allylic rearrangement, Rh-catalyzed diene-ene [2+2+1] reaction, and Ru-catalyzed cross-metathesis reaction. The complexity bestowed to the molecule from these reactions converts a readily accessible ester to clinprost without using protecting groups in only 9 total steps.
