Abstract
(+/-)-Azamacrolides were synthesized via lipase-catalyzed intramolecular cy clization of (+/-)-hydroxy-azaesters. Further, the size of the macrocyclic lactones formed could be altered by the substinuent on the nitrogen atom. T his allows one to prepare a combinatorial library of azamacrolides from a s mall number of hydroxy-azaesters using this biocatalytic approach. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
