## Abstract A simple and highly efficient stereoselective total synthesis of (11__β__)‐11‐methoxycurvularin (**5**), a polyketide natural product, was achieved. The synthesis commenced with a Cu‐mediated regioselective opening of (2__S__)‐2‐methyloxirane (**6**) and comprised a __Keck__ asymmetric

Abstract
This report describes an efficient stereoselective synthesis of [11β‐^3^H]prostaglandin E~1~ ([11β‐^3^H]PGE~1~). The key multiply protected 11‐keto intermediate was prepared in only three steps from PGE~1~. Reduction of the ketone function at C‐11 with sodium borodeuteride and sodium borotritide, followed by sequential removal of protecting groups, afforded PGE~1~ labeled with deuterium and tritium, respectively, at the 11‐beta position. The reduction and deprotection were accomplished in one reaction flask without requiring purification of intermediates. Trace amounts of C~11~‐epimer formed in the reduction were readily separated by means of preparative reversed‐phase HPLC. Using sodium borotritide of nominally 67 Ci/mmol, we obtained [11β‐^3^H]PGE~1~ with specific activity of 15 Ci/mmol. A disposition study in the monkey with intravenous administration of this material indicated excellent in vivo metabolic stability of the 11β‐tritium label.

Labelled prostaglandin El (PGE,) (Fig. l), which is used in biochemical and biological studies, can be prepared biosynthetically from labelled dihomo-y-linolenic acid or, particularly when high specific activities are required, by catalytic hydrogenation of prostaglandin E, (PGE,) over a Pd-C-cataly
