Abstract
A concise and versatile syntheses of 11-16-membered macrolides
and 13-15-membered macrolactams have been achieved using
a Tsuji-Trost type reaction. This approach is composed
of intramolecular cyclization employing ethyl carbonate with carboxylic
acids and catalytic amount of Pd(PPh3 )4 to
form carbon-heteroatom covalent bonds with no use of stoichiometric
reagents.
Key words
macrolactones - macrolactams - palladium-catalyzed reaction - carbon-heteroatom bond
formation

We observed that the reaction with
the isolated single (E )-α-7c under the same reaction conditions afforded
a 90:10 mixture of E /Z -isomers without production of γ-7c (Scheme
[4 ]
).

This would be attributed to the strain
based on the ring size.
