Abstract

Palladium acetate [Pd(OAc)2] and 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane (dppb) catalyse regioselective cyclocarbonylation of bisallyl derivatives of bisphenols affording seven-membered ring bislactones in good yields. Double cyclocarbonylation reactions carried out using different conditions afforded bislactones with two different ring sizes (7-6 and 7-5-membered). Copyright (C) 2000 John Wiley and Sons, Ltd.
