The incorporation of methyl groups into the C(1), C(7), C(8), C(9), and C(10) positions of tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]decenone (1) dramatically accelerates the retro Diels–Alder reaction of (3) under Lewis acid catalysis thus permitting access to synthetic natural prostaglandin A2; the X-ray crystal structure of the ammonium salt of (7) is reported.
                                    三环[5.2.1.0 2,6 ]
癸烯酮(1)的C(1),C(7),C(8),C(9)和C(10)位置上甲基的结合显着加速了(3)在
路易斯酸催化下的Diels-Alder逆反应,因此可以使用合成的天然
