Abstract

Medium??ring lactones are challenging targets of interest either as intermediates or as bioactive compounds.1 View all references Indeed, many natural products have been described with medium?? to large??ring lactones.24. Rousseau , G. 1995. Medium ring lactones. Tetrahedron, 51: 2777–2849. [CrossRef], [Web of Science ®] View all references However, they are hardly prepared chemically, even by the most obvious ring??forming lactonization.3 View all ...
