摘要:A process for the preparation of 2-alkyl cyclopent-2-enones having the formula: ##STR1## wherein R is as defined hereinafter. An &agr; -olefin having the formula
CH.sub.2 ═CH--CH.sub.2 R is oxidized to the corresponding epoxide. The epoxide is reacted with an alkylating agent having the formula Na.sup.+ CH(COOR").sub.2 !.sup.-, wherein R" is an ethyl, an isopropyl, or an isobutyl radical. An &agr;-carbalkoxy-&ggr; -alkyl lactone is obtained, which, through saponification and decarboxylation, yields a
&ggr;-alkyl lactone having the formula: ##STR2## which is reacted with a protic acid, thereby obtaining, by cyclization, the desired 2-alkylcyclopent-2-enone. The obtained products are intermediates for the production of pharmaceutical products and of drugs for veterinary use, in particular prostaglandin.
