Abstract: Oleandrose (I, R = R1 = H)(II) was prepd. in 8 steps from (S)-Me3CSiMe2OCHMeCHO via cyclic sulfites III (4 isomers) and the key intermediate p-allyl tricarbonyl iron complexes IV and V. Acetylation of II gave an equimolar mixt. of diacetate I (R = R1 = Ac) and monoacetate I (R = Ac, R1 = H) (VI). The diacetate was selectively deacetylated with LiBEt3H to give monoacetate I (R = H, R1 = Ac), which was coupled via its imidazolylcarbonyl deriv., with VI to give the bis-oleandrose fragment VII. VII was selectively deacetylated with LiBEt3H, treated with thiocarbonyldiimidazole and then coupled with avermectin B1a aglycon monoacetate in the presence of AgClO4 and K2CO3 to give avermectin B1a diacetate. The latter compd. was deacetylated with excess LiBEt3H to give avermectin B1a. [on SciFinder (R)]
