Model palladium-catalysed vinyl-vinyl coupling reactions have been tested for the construction of the 8E,10E-diene system of avermectins. Cross coupling of the southern bicylic vinyl iodide ethyl 3-iodomethylene-3a-(trimethylsiloxy)octahydrobenzo-furan-4-carboxylate, prepared from ethyl 2-oxocyclohexanecarboxylate, with northern 1-alkenylstannanes or the one-carbon-homologation reagent tributyl(4-methoxybenzyloxymethyl)-stannane has been shown to occur with acceptable yields.
