(Chemical Equation Presented) An effective method for the total synthesis of 2-hydroxy-24-oxooctacosanolide, a defensive salivary secretion of the African termite Pseudacanthotermes spiniger, has been developed. The key lactonization to form a 29-membered ring lactone core is performed using 2-methyl-6- nitrobenzoic anhydride with a catalytic amount of 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine N-oxide.
