Macrocyclic oligoester structures based on a cyclotetrasiloxane core consisting of tricyclic (60+ atoms) and pentacycylic (130+ atoms) species were identified as the major components of a lipase-mediated transesterification reaction. Moderately hydrophobic solvents with log P values in the range of...
