This paper reports the synthesis of 11-dehydrothromboxane B2 methyl ester (II), 15-dehydrothromboxane B2 methyl ester (III), 15-dehydro-13, 14-dihydrothromboxane B2 (XII) and 2,3-dinorthromboxane B2 methyl ester (XV). These compounds, as their free acids, have been reported to be thromboxane metabolites.

D013929	Thromboxane B2	A stable, physiologically active compound formed in vivo from the prostaglandin endoperoxides. It is important in the platelet-release reaction (release of ADP and serotonin).	B2, Thromboxane
D013931	Thromboxanes	Physiologically active compounds found in many organs of the body. They are formed in vivo from the prostaglandin endoperoxides and cause platelet aggregation, contraction of arteries, and other biological effects. Thromboxanes are important mediators of the actions of polyunsaturated fatty acids transformed by cyclooxygenase.	Thromboxane
