13C chemical shifts in medium ring and macrocyclic ketolactones

Abstract
Natural abundance 13C Ft nmr spectra of four different series of title compounds have been examined. Unambiguous chemical shift assignments could be made for all the carbons of the 11-membered cis-3,3-dimethyl-5-keto-6-alkyl-8-decenolides. In the rest of the 9- to 16-membered ketolactones, unique as well as logical assignments have been made using the standard 13C chemical shift rules. In the case of two benzo- and naphthoketolactone series examined, the available shielding parameters for the substituted benzenes were employed with success to the naphthalene series for the assignment of aromatic carbons.
