The present invention relates to intermediates of the general formula: <IMAGE> (I) (wherein Y and Z, which may be the same or different, each represents a trans-vinylene group or an ethylene group, R2 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl or ethyl group, R3 represents a single bond or an alkylene group of 1 to 5 carbon atoms, R4 represents an alkyl group of 1 to 8 carbon atoms, a cycloalkyl group of 4 to 7 carbon atoms unsubstituted or substituted by at least one alkyl group of 1 to 8 carbon atoms or a phenyl or phenoxy group unsubstituted or substituted by at least one halogen atom, trifluoromethyl group or alkyl group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R5 represents a hydroxy- protecting group which can be removed in acidic conditions and W1 represents a group of the formula: -COOR1, -CON(R6)2, -CH2OR5 or -CH(OR7)CH2OR5 (in which R1 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group of 1 to 12 carbon atoms, the groups R6, which may be the same or different, each represents an alkyl group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, a phenyl group or an aralkyl group of 7 to 12 carbon atoms or R7 represents an acyl group of 2 to 12 carbon atoms and R5 is as hereinbefore defined) with the proviso that, when R3 represents a single bond, R4 does not represent a substituted or unsubstituted phenoxy group, which are useful in the preparation of 6-keto-prostaglandin derivatives. |
