Pp. Akhmetvaleev et al., Prostanoids: LXXIV. 2,3-dichloro-4,4-ethylenedioxy-2-cyclopentenone in thesynthesis of analogs of marine prostanoids, RUSS J ORG, 37(1), 2001, pp. 40-45
Transformations of readily accessible 2,3-dichloro-4,4-ethylenedioxy-2-cycl
opentenone resulted in formation of previously unknown 2,3-dichloro-4-hydro
xy-4-[(Z)-2-octenyl] which is a universal block synthon for analogs of mari
ne prostanoids.
