After the reaction is finished in 1 to 30 minutes, the solvent is removed and the ester is purified in the usual way* Diazoalkanes are either known or can be produced by known methods (Org. Reactions Vol. 8, pages 389-394 (1954)).
The introduction of the ester group COOR2 for R in which R2 represents a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, occurs according to methods known to a man of the art.
For example, the carboxyl compounds are reacted with the corresponding aryl hydroxy compounds with dicyelohexylcarbodiimide in the presence of a suitable base, for example pyridine or triethylamine, in an inert solvent.
As a solvent, methylene chloride, ethylene chloride, chloroform, ethyl acetate, tetrahydrofuran, preferably chloroform, are suitable. The reaction is performed at temperatures between -30oC and +50oC, preferably at +10oC.
The carbacyclin derivatives of general formula I with Ri representing a carboxyl group can be converted, with suitable amounts of the corresponding inorganic base, with neutralization, into salts.

Production of the amine salts occurs in the usual way.
In addition, the PG acid is dissolved,- for example, in a suitablfa solvent such as ethanol, acetone, diethyl ether or benzene attd at least the stoichiometric amount of the artine of this solution is added. In doing so the salt usually precipitates in solid form of is isolated in the usual way after evaporation oi the solvent.
I- I • • The functional modification of the free OH group occurs according to methods known to a man of the art.

For example, the cleavage of ether protection groups is performed in an aqueous solution of an organic acid, such as acetic acid, propionic acid, among others, or in an aqueous solution of an inorganic acid, such as hydrochloric acid. To improve the solubility, an water- miscible inert organic solvent is suitably added. Suitable organic solvents are, for example, alcohols such as methanol and ethanol,. and ethers, such as dimethoxyethane, dioxane and tetrahydrofuran Tetrahydrofuran is preferably used. The cleavage is preferably performed at temperatures between 20oC and 80QC.

10.45 g (50 mmol) of 5-broniovaleric acid ethyl ester was reduced at 0° with 1.043 g of LiAIH4 in 100 ml of absolute tetrahydrofiirah, worked up with ice water, 2 N H2SO4 and chromatographed with pentane, 20% ether on a column with 27 5 g of silica gel, and 5.88 g of 5-bromopentyl alcohol was obtained.
7.01 g (42 mmol) of 5-broinopentyl alcohol was stirred in ml of DMF with 3.571 g of imidazole and 7.906 g (52.5 mmol) of tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride for 2 hours at 24°, ice water added and extracted with hexane/ether 1:1, and 12.58 g of raw product was obtained, which yielded 8.93 g (75%) of the title compound in pentane after chromatography on silica gel.
