This synthetic route generates a large variety of stereoisomers and thus can be applied to the preparation of a library of polyhydroxylated macrocycles, analogues of natural bioactive macrolides.long chain polyolsmacrolactonizationolefinationpolyketide macrolidesring-closing metathesis.New synthetic route toward polyketide-like macrolidestext::journal::journal article::research article
