Highly efficient synthesis of medium-sized lactones via oxidative lactonization: concise total synthesis of isolaurepan
Makoto Ebine, Yuto Suga, Haruhiko Fuwa and Makoto Sasaki
A catalytic amount of TEMPO in the presence of PhI(OAc)2 effected oxidative lactonization of 1,6- and 1,7-diols, directly affording seven- and eight-membered lactones, respectively, in good yields.
