Question

Doxaprost, an orally active bronchodilator patterned after the natural prostaglandins , is synthesized in the following series of reactions starting with ethyl 2-oxocyclopentanecarboxylate. Except for the Nef reaction in Step 8, we have seen
examples of all other types of reactions involved in this synthesis.

Q. Propose a set of experimental conditions to bring about the alkylation in Step 1.
Account for the regioselectivity of the alkylation (i.e., that it takes place on the
carbon between the two carbonyl groups rather than on the other side of the ketone carbonyl).
