Synthesis of Ring-Contracted Erythromycin A Derivatives via Microwave-Assisted Intramolecular Transesterification

The synthesis of ring-contracted derivatives of erythromycin A via intramolecular transesterification under microwave irradiation of 8,9-anhydroerythromycin A 6,9-hemiketal and its derivatives is described. It was found that microwave irradiation could significantly improve the yields and shorten th...
