Reaction Steps

In the same manner but using the appropriate choice of the compound of formula 1 and lower alkanol, other corresponding esters of formula 1 (R1 = lower alkyl) are prepared; for example, the corresponding lower alkyl esters of the products of Table IV. More specifically exemplified, the choice of trans-7-[2-(3-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-octenyl)-5-oxocyclopentyl]heptanoic acid, described in Example 68, as the compound of formula 1 and methanol as the lower alkanol in the procedure of this example give methyl trans-7-[2-(3-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-octenyl)5-oxocyclopentyl]heptanoate, γmax film 3475, 1730 cm-1, nmr (CDCl3) δ 0.89 (t, 3H), 3.64 (s, 3H), 5.61 (m, 2H).
