Electrochemical Control Enables High-Concentration, One-Pot Macrolactonization

SMSiying MaoDWDengchao WeiKXKun Xu

Key Points

  • The aim is to enhance macrolactone synthesis by overcoming high-dilution conditions that lead to oligomerization.
  • Utilized electrochemical control for macrolactone synthesis
  • Conducted one-pot reactions with high concentration of reagents
  • Analyzed the impact on oligomerization rates
  • Achieved successful macrolactonization at concentrations above 5 mM
  • Reduced oligomerization significantly compared to traditional methods
  • Demonstrated improved efficiency in the synthesis process

Abstract

State-of-the-art macrolactone synthesis predominantly relies on the end-to-end cyclization of seco-acids, a strategy that requires high-dilution conditions (< 5 mM) to suppress oligomerization. To address this limitation, we report an...
