Synthesis of macrocyclic and medium-sized ring thiolactonesviathe ring expansion of lactams

A side chain insertion method for the ring expansion of lactams into macrocyclic thiolactones is reported, that can also be incorporated into Successive Ring Expansion (SuRE) sequences. The reactions are less thermodynamically favourable than the analogous lactam- and lactone-forming ring expansion processes (with this notion supported by DFT data), but nonetheless, three complementary protecting group strategies have been developed to enable this challenging transformation to be achieved.

SYNTHESIS OF UNSATURATED HYDROXY ACIDS BY THE COBALT CARBONYL AND PHASE TRANSFER CATALYZED CARBONYLATION OF VINYL EPOXIDES

Phase transfer catalyzed reaction of vinyl epoxides with carbon monoxide, methyl iodide, catalytic amounts of cobalt carbonyl and TDA-1, affords β-hydroxy acids.High regioselectivity was observed in some cases.
