Abstract

The reaction with iodine in refluxing acetic acid was found to be an alternative method for the lactonization of β,γ-enoic acids. Application of the method to verticillene-10-carboxylic acid (6) resulted in the formation of three γ-lactones (7, 12, and 13), 12 being an unexpected product.
