Abstract
Imidazolinium-derived carbenes catalyze the ring-expansion lactonization of oxacycloalkane-2-carboxaldehydes. A variety of functionalized five-, six-, and seven-membered lactones can be formed efficiently under mild reaction conditions. The success of this new method for the construction of lactones is highly influenced by the electronic nature of the carbene catalyst.Entities:
