Ricinoleic Acid to Prostaglandins-I: Synthesis of Methyl 2-(6'-Methoxycarbonylhexyl)-cyclopent-2-en-1-one-3-carboxylate and PGE1

Ricinoleic acid (1) has been converted into methyl 9,13-bisacetoxy-12-oxooctadecanoate (17), an envisaged key intermediate for the synthesis of prostanoids.As a preliminary, 17 has been transformed into the title compound (14) which has been earlier conve
