The total synthesis of the aglycone of 22,23-dihydroavermectin B1b involves a palladium(0) catalysed cross-coupling reaction between a C10-C25 northern E-vinylstannane and a C1-C9 vinyl iodide where the Δ3 double bond as well as the correct stereochemistry at C - 2 are already present. The final steps include successive deprotection of the carboxyl β-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl protecting group of the intermediate secoester, macrolactonisation and acidic hydrolysis of 5-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl residue to give the title aglycone.
