A new method is reported for the conversion of azido acids into lactams, via thioester formation and in situ azide reduction and cyclisation under high-dilution conditions; since the quantitative conversion of macrolactams to macrolactones has been shown to be feasible, this results in an indirect, alternative macrolactonisation procedure.

, p. 805 - 808 (2007/10/02)
A new method for the preparation of macrocyclic lactones from ω-hydroxyacid methyl esters is described.The approach utilizes intramolecular transesterification catalyzed by lipase in organic solvents.The procedure is also applicable to the synthesis of asymmetric lactones.
