Abstract
The synthesis of complex macrodiolides involving microwave-accelerated transesterification of chiral, nonracemic, hydroxy esters is described. Methodology development studies indicate that both microwave power and reaction temperature play an important role in the efficiency of cyclodimerizations. Hydroxy ester monomer pairs were evaluated using an analytical rehearsal leading to the preparation of a 127-member library of highly diverse and stereochemically well-defined macrodiolides. Preliminary assays identified a novel macrodiolide antagonist of the kappa opioid receptor.
