The same strategy was extended to the synthesis of its C-4 epimer. Key reactions of the synthetic pathway include a Jacobsen hydrolytic kinetic resolution of an epoxide followed by its regioselective opening through a Yamaguchi-Hirao alkynylation, and ring-closing metathesis reaction to furnish the unique 14-membered ring macrolactone. In addition, the influence of protecting groups on the efficiency of the ring-closing metathesis (RCM) macrocyclization has been studied to maximize its yields.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3.068</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Reddi, Rambabu N.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gontala, Arjun</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prasad, Pragati K.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sudalai, Arumugam</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">N-heterocyclic-carbene-catalyzed regioselective oxidative ring-opening of epoxides with aromatic aldehydes: a facile entry to alpha-acyloxyketones</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Asian Journal of Organic Chemistry</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">aldehydes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">epoxides</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">halogen oxidants</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">N-heterocyclic carbenes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">oxygen</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JAN</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">POSTFACH 101161, 69451 WEINHEIM, GERMANY</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">48-51</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;A high-yielding synthesis of -acyloxyketones using a N-heterocyclic-carbene (NHC)-catalyzed, oxidative ring-opening of epoxides with aromatic aldehydes is described.
