Resolution of 4-Hydroxy-2-cyclopentenone Derivatives by HPLC on Cellulose Triphenylcarbamate Derivatives

Abstract
Trialkylsilyl ethers of 4-hydroxy-2-cyclopentenone, which are the key compounds for the syntheses of prostaglandins, were completely resolved on chiral HPLC columns packed with cellulose triphenylcarbamate derivatives.
