title: Increasing the efficiency of the transannular diels-alder strategy via stille macrocyclizations
abstract: To increase the potential and flexibility of the transannular Diels-Alder strategy to build tricycles and tetracycles, the synthesis of macrocyclic trienes of defined geometries has been approached via Stille macrocyclization, giving very high yield and purity of the desired macrocycles or tricycles.
