B. Rondot et al., SYNTHESIS AND DETERMINATION OF CIS OR TRANS ISOPROSTANE PRECURSORS BYA H-1-NMR NOE STUDY, Perkin transactions. 2, (8), 1995, pp. 1589-1594
Different isoprostane precursors have been synthesized from a 5-iodo-s
ugar via a radical cyclization initiated by azoisobutyronitrile (AIBN)
-Et(3)B. The NOE H-1 NMR experiment is a simple and efficient method f
or the determination of the relative functional configuration of tetra
substituted cyclopentane derivatives. Applied to chiral lactone struct
ures or hydroxy esters, this method allows the determination a priori
of their relative configuration.
