One-Step Conversion to a Disubstituted Cyclopentenone from 2-Deoxy-<scp>d</scp>-Glucose and Application to Synthesis of Prostaglandin E<sub>1</sub> Methyl Ester
We have developed a facile one-step conversion of 2-deoxy-d-glucose to form a disubstituted cyclopentenone through catalyst-free hydrothermal reaction under mild conditions. The use of 2-deoxy-d-gl...
