  • First Online:
Synthesis of Saturated Oxygenated Heterocycles I

Part of the book series: Topics in Heterocyclic Chemistry ((TOPICS,volume 35))

Abstract

The δ-lactone moiety is a common structural framework found in many natural products that exhibit interesting biological properties. This review details a collection of various selected methods developed for the synthesis of saturated δ-lactones. Synthesis of unsaturated δ-lactones and manipulation thereof to saturated δ-lactones are not covered in this review.
