Synthesis and reactivity of macrocyclic β-keto lactones Sharadendu, Anurag

Abstract

As a part of a continuing study of the chemistry and conformational behaviour of macrocyclic β-keto lactones, 3-oxo-13-tetradecanolide (74) and 3-oxo-15-hexadecanolide (84) were synthesized via intra- and intermolecular alcoholysis of hydroxy Meldrum's acid derivatives. A number of 14- and 16-membered lactones, derived from 74 and 84 were used to investigate a series of alkylation and reduction reactions. [more abstract available in pdf]
