| 摘要 |
<p>This invention relates to a novel cyclopenteneheptenoic acid derivative having the following formula <CHEM> wherein R1 is hydrogen, -COCH3, -COCF3, -CO-phenyl, or a hydroxyl protecting group such as tetrahydropyranyl, tetrahydrofuranyl, or tri-lower alkylsilyl; wherein R2 is -CH2OR1, -COOH, -COOR, -CHO, -CH2-OSi(R12)3, <CHEM> wherein R is lower alkyl and each R12 is independently lower alkyl or aryl; and wherein Y is ethylene, cis-vinylene, trans-vinylene, or acetylene. Also disclosed is a novel process for preparation of the above-defined cyclopenteneheptenoic acid derivative. This process involves coupling of a higher order cuprate complex with a chiral cyclopentene compound. The resultant product is particularly useful as a starting compound for high yield synthesis of optically active prostaglandins.</p> |
