The present invention is directed to methods for preparing Beraprost and novel synthetic intermediates for Beraprost. In one aspect, a process is provided to produce a pharmaceutical compound represented by the general Formula (I) via a radical cyclization route. The process is completed in fewer steps than the known synthetic methods and may be conducted to prepare commercially useful quantities. In another aspect, synthetic methods are provided for producing Beraprost and its derivatives, which are stereoselective, efficient, scalable and economical. In another aspect, substantially isomerically pure compounds and intermediates are produced by the above processes.
