organic compounds
Two new isomeric 14-membered ring compounds, C23H30O8, were synthesized based on Michael addition macrocyclization which leads to completely controlled diene geometries trans-trans and trans-cis. The crystal structures show the respective trans-trans and trans-cis diene geometries and their corresponding cis and trans ring junctions.
