โœฆ Synopsis


A highly stereocontrolled synthesis of the Cl 1 to C3 1 fragment of the potent antimicrobial agent milbemycin D has been completed.

This approach utilizes a unique hydrolysis-cyclization to construct the spiroketal portion of the molecule.

The milbemycins 2 and the avermectins3 are two structurally related classes of macrocyclic lactones with remarkable biological activity .4 These compounds show potent, broad spectrum anthelmintic, insecticidal, and acaracidal activity. Ivermectin, a semisynthetic derivative, is currently being employed as a veterinary medicine5 and is being used to treat onchocerciasis ("river blindness") in humans on an experimental basis.6

The efficient synthesis of C-l to C-10 monocyclic nonaromatic fragments of the milbemycins and avermectins has been achieved, in which the key step involved the stereoselective addition of 2-lithio-4-phenylthiobut-1-ene to a 3-hydroxycyclohexanone derivative.
