Lactones in the Synthesis of Prostaglandins and Prostaglandin Analogs [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 In the total stereo-controlled synthesis of natural prostaglandins (PGs) and their structural analogs, a vast class of compounds and drugs, known as the lactones, are encountered in a few key steps to build the final molecule, as: δ-lactones, γ-lactones, and 1,9-, 1,11-, and 1,15-macrolactones.
