Process for the interconversion of intermediates of use in the preparation of prostaglandins.

摘要

A process for the preparation of compounds of general formula (wherein R<3> represents an optionally substituted C1-12 aliphatic chain) which comprises deprotecting the group OR of a compound of formula (where R<1> represents an optionally substituted C1-12 aliphatic chain and R represents a hydroxyl protecting group), which process enables intermediates in the preparation of prostaglandins to be interconverted.
