Abstract

This paper describes a convenient one-step preparation of@-lactones based on the addition of thiol ester enolates to carbonyl compounds. Under the proper conditions the resulting aldolates undergo spontaneous cyclization to produce 8-lactones in good to excellent yield. The new 0-lactone synthesis provides access to 2-oxetanones with a variety of substituents and substitution patterns. In general, thiol ester enolates combine with carbonyl ...
