Intermediates in the synthesis of ω-tetranor 16-aryloxy prostaglandins, which are 5-hydroxy enones undergo quantitative intramolecular transformation into cyclic methyl acetals in acidic methanolic solution.The reaction proceeds via the corresponding 5-hydroxy-3-methoxy ketones, which partly exist as hemiacetals.The structure of the compounds investigated was elucidated by 1H NMR spectroscopy and by X-ray analysis of the acetal (11).
