Prostaglandins
|March 1, 1976
Abstract:
The synthesis of prostaglandin analogs incorporating the (2-hydroxycyclooctylidene)methyl moiety in place of the natural C13-C20 sidechain has been accomplished via copper-assisted conjugate addition of the (cyclooctylidene)methyllithium 5 to the cyclopentenone intermediates 7 and 10.
