Synthesis of Macroheterocycles Containing Pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic and Adipic Acid Ester and Hydrazide Fragments Starting from Tetrahydropyran

Efficient methods have been developed for the synthesis of three potentially useful macroheterocycles containing pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic and adipic acid ester and hydrazide fragments starting from tetrahydropyran (commercial petrochemical product) through intermediate 8-hydroxyoctan-2-one. The key stages were [2+1]-condensation of the latter with pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic and adipic acid chlorides and [1+1]-condensation of the resulting...
