title: MnO2-promoted carboesterification of alkenes with anhydrides: a facile approach to γ-lactones.
abstract: An efficient carboesterification of alkenes with anhydrides promoted by MnO2 has been developed to afford functionalized γ-lactones in good to excellent yields. This method shows a broad substrate scope and provides a valuable and convenient synthetic tool for constructing γ-lactones.
