A stereodivergent approach to the spiroketal fragment of the avermectins is described. The strategy utilizes a sequence of three aldol reactions directed by the tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl “super silyl” group. Central to this strategy is that each aldol reaction can be controlled to allow access to either diastereomer in high stereoselectivity, thereby affording 16 stereoisomers along the same linear
The use of the tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl (TTMSS) group in aldehyde-derived silyl enol ethers affords aldehyde cross-aldol products with high yields and allows for unprecedented reactivity. The reaction is catalyzed by 0.05 mol % of HNTf2, and can easily be managed to give beta,delta-bis-, beta,delta,gamma-tris-, and beta,delta,zeta-tris-hydroxy-aldehydes with extremely high selectivity by simple stoichiometric control. High diastereoselectivity is obtained in all cases, and the use of chiral aldehydes affords Felkin products when there are nonchelating substituents, chelation products when there is a chelating sbustituent, and syn products when there is beta-substitution. HNTf2 is proposed to be an initiator, and highly Lewis acidic TTMSSNTf2 is the true catalyst.
