Abstract

The reaction of a series of terminal dibromoalkanes with S-2 on Al2O3 has been examined. The use of a solid support for the macrocyclization represents a viable alternate procedure to the more traditional high dilution technique in solution. The cyclizations also occur with thioacetamide on unactivated alumina.
