Chemoenzymatic preparation of musky macrolactones

A chemoenzymatic approach to some musk macrolactones has been explored by the optimization of macrolactonization catalyzed by Candida antarctica lipase B (Novozym 435). This fast and high yield optimized methodology represents a large improvement to previously reported results. The methodology was a...

Description
Summary:A chemoenzymatic approach to some musk macrolactones has been explored by the optimization of macrolactonization catalyzed by Candida antarctica lipase B (Novozym 435). This fast and high yield optimized methodology represents a large improvement to previously reported results. The methodology was applied to the preparation of 16-hexadecanolide, exaltolide, ambrettolide and (15R)-15-hexadecanolide
