The Synthesis of Aromatic Hydrazones as Nitrogen-Containing Prostaglandin Congeners

We synthesized a series of hydrazones, a novel type of nitrogen-containing prostaglandins, from different aromatic hydrazines and variant 2-substituted amino-3-hydroxy bicycle [3.2.0]hept-6-ones IV.

The Oxirane Ring Opening of 2,3-endo-epoxybicyclo[3. 2 .0] hept-6-one by Amines at Alumina Surface

Stereospecific (trans) and regioselective nucleophilic opening of the title epoxide (I) by different amines at the alumina surface are described.
