Some observations of the optical properties of clouds

The use of citrus acetyl esterase to selectively hydrolyze one of the ester functions present in 15-(R)-acetoxy-9-oxoprosta-5-cis-10,13-trans-trienoic acid, methyl ester (15-epi-PGA2, acetate, methyl ester) is disclosed. The product of this selective hydrolysis is a useful intermediate for the synthesis of other physiologically active Prostaglandins.
