The aglycone of 5-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl 22,23-dihydroavermectin B1a has been treated with various alcohols (orthiols) in the presence of titanium(IV) isopropoxide to give the corresponding secoesters without isomerisation of the crucial Δ3 double bond nor epimerization at C - 2. The β-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl and allyl secoesters were then cleanly converted into the parent B1a 5-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl aglycone.
