Abstract

Macromolecules [1-5] have been the targets of the synthetic efforts of investigators, largely because of their widespread applications related to their medicinal, insecticidal and/or phytotoxic properties [6-14]. Accordingly, we endeavored to synthesize a new series of macrocyclic systems as possible candidates for biological screening.
