(Chemical Equation Presented) A facile and efficient route to synthesize macrocyclic tetralactones with different ring sizes having a wide variety of spacers is described. The application of ring-closing metathesis for the synthesis of macrocyclic tetralactones is demonstrated with many examples in excellent yield. The representative structure of macrocyclic tetralactones is characterized by X-ray crystallography.
