Abstract

Reaction of bis-diazocarbonyl compounds and dicarbaldehyde/divinyl derivatives in the presence of rhodium(II) acetate dimer as the catalyst led to the facile synthesis of conformationally restricted symmetric macrodiolides incorporating oxa/dioxa-bridged bicyclic systems. The structure and configuration of a representative­ macrodiolide were unequivocally confirmed using single-crystal X-ray analysis.
