Prostaglandin D 2 is one of five chief prostanoids formed in the cyclooxygenase pathway of arachidonic acid oxidation. Except for a single oxygen atom, PGD 2 is structurally identical to 11‐dehydro thromboxane B 2 (11d‐TxB 2 ), a urinary metabolite of the pro‐aggregatory platelet activator, thromboxane A 2 . The close structural relationship suggested that one might be transformed to the other. Accordingly, we tested whether the cyclopentanone of PGD 2 can be expanded to the δ‐lactone of 11d‐TxB 2 in a Baeyer‐Villiger oxidation. Oxidation of PGD 2 with two standard oxidants showed that 11d‐TxB 2 was formed only with H 2 O 2 but not with peracetic acid. Byproducts of the H 2 O 2 ‐mediated oxidation were hydroperoxide derivatives and isomers of PGD 2 . Chemical oxidation of PGD 2 to 11d‐TxB 2 may be a model for an equivalent enzymatic transformation, suggesting a possible link in the metabolism of PGD 2 and thromboxane A 2 .
