The epoxides of 2-alkylcyclopent-2-enones (I) react with acetic acid to give 5-acetoxy-2-alkylcyclopent-2-enones (II) which afford (+/-)-11-deoxy-10-hydroxyprostaglandins via conjugate-addition reactions.The 11-deoxy-10-hydroxyprostaglandin (IXa) readily undergoes base-catalysed autoxidation to the 11-deoxy-10-oxoprostaglandin (XIII).
