Abstract
Abstract Methyl 7-Oxoheptanoate has recently been used for the synthesis of 2-(6-methoxycarbonylhexyl)-cyclopent-2-en-l-one, a key intermediate for preparation of the pros tanoids! Several methods have been previously adop 3 ted to prepare the title compound: from cycloheptanone, from 1 -methoxycycloheptenef from suberic acid: from methyl 7-iodoheptanoate6,and from 6-bromohexanoic acid or 7 from E-caprolactone.
