Abstract

During the realization of synthetic programme directed to macrolide antibiotics construction we needed in mild and efficient ester to ketone transformation. Traditional sequence including ester cleavage, preparation of active acyl-transfer derivative followed by reaction with appropriate organometallics have some dis&antages for natural products synthesis since may affect position& to carboxylic group. Therefore we are interested in more mild ...
