Photosynthetic routes to prostanoids. Synthesis of alkyl and trialkylsilyl derivatives of 9α-hydroxy-9-deoxyprostaglandin-C2
Abstract
Photolysis of 5-endo-,7-anti-disubstituted bicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-ones gave cyclopentene aldehydes in good yield: the substituents were selected so that conversions into prostaglandin-C2(PG-C2) analogues were readily achieved.
