Abstract
Abstract The acetonide of (3S,5S)-5,6-dihydroxy-3-p-methoxybenzyloxyhexanal, prepared from laevoglucosan, reacted with the cerium derivative of (3S,4R,5S)-3,5-dimethyl-4-t-butyldimethyl silyloxy-1-heptyne, prepared from (2S)-2-methylbutanol, to give a carbinol that was converted in four steps to the spiroketal segment of avermectin B 1a .
