Abstract

Several recent publications2 report the synthesis of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1, 2) and some of its derivatives by conjugate addition reactions to ether-ester forms of hydroxycyclopentenone acid 1.3 The simplicity of this approach makes its application to the preparation of prostaglandins of the PG2- and PG3 - series (cis5)4 an attractive alternative to the existing elegant methods.5 We now wish to report a five-step synthesis of the requisite hydroxycyclopentenone precursor 3 from the readily available6 lactone 4.
