Add to personal list- Summary
- The macrocyclisation of hydroxyethylfuranyl acetic acid and of dehydrogenated model compounds of nonactic acid was investigated to develop a facile synthesis of nonactin analogues. By applying the Yamagushi macrocyclisation to our ω-hydroxyacids, we were able to isolate a mixture of di-, tri-, tetra- and pentameric macrocycles. Graphical abstract
