“…With respect to this, Ellman and coworkers [16], Zhu and coworkers [17], Arnusch and Pieters [18], and Liskamp and coworkers [19] have prepared (monocyclic) mimics of the D-E part of the cavity of these antibiotics via an intramolecular nucleophilic aromatic substitution [16][17][18] or a Sonogashira-based macrocyclization [19] (Figure 1.4). Recently, a bicyclic mimic of the C-D-E cavity, which was prepared by a Stille reaction followed by tandem ring-closing metathesis (9, Figure 1.4), was described by Liskamp and coworkers [20].…”
