Abstract

Novel lactones of the formula ##STR1## wherein the dotted line indicates the optional presence of a second bond, A is a single bond or --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --, R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms and alkenyl and alkynyl of 2 to 4 carbon atoms, R.sub.6 is --OR'.sub.A, R'.sub.A is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, tetrahydropyranyl, alkyl of 1 to 3 carbon atoms and ##STR2## R".sub.A is selected from the group consisting of alkyl of 1 to 3 carbon atoms optionally substituted with carboxyl and phenyl optionally substituted with a member of the group consisting of carboxyl, free hydroxyl, hydroxyl protected with an acyl of 2 to 4 carbon atoms and hydroxyl protected with an easily hydrolyzable group and R and R.sub.6 together form a keto group, R.sub.7 is --(CH.sub.2)m.sub.A --CH.sub.3, m.sub.A is 3,4,5 or 6 and R.sub.6 and R.sub.7 taken together form .dbd. CH--(CH.sub.2)n.sub. A --CH.sub.3 n.sub.A is 2,3,4 or 5 and the wavy lines indicate that the bonds are in one or the other of the possible configurations and when A is a simple bond, the bond between the cyclopentane ring and the oxygen is in the .alpha.-position having hypo…
