Conversion of allyl alk-2-ynoates to alk-2-ynoic acids using morpholine and palladium(0)-bis(diphenylphosphino)alkane catalyst; synthesis of 2,2,3,3-tetradehydro PGE1
Abstract
Allyl alk-2-ynoates can be readily converted into alk-2-ynoic acids by the reaction with morpholine in the presence of a palladium-diphenylphosphinopropane catalyst, thus providing the chemical deprotection method of allyl ester of 2,2,3,3-tetradehydro PGE1.
