Abstract

A general and collective synthesis of medium-sized methylene lactones via controlled cyclizations of easily accessible collective precursors is described. The rapid composition of key–hydroxyalkenoic acid scaffold yields an assembly of oxocanones, oxepanones, and pyranones in a regioselective and stereodirected fashion via palladium-catalyzed cyclization. (Figure presented.).
