Abstract
Reductive amination of 4''-oxo-5-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl-avermectins with sodium cyanoborohydride and ammonium acetate gave an epimeric mi xture of 4''-deoxy-4''-amino analogs with the epimeric, axial 4''-beta -amino derivative as the major component. Acylation of the amino subst ituent gave highly active broad spectrum antiparasitic compounds, as d etermined in a sheep anthelmintic assay. 4''-Epi-acetylamino-4''-deoxy avermectin B-1(12) was selected for further antiparasitic studies and is currently under development as a novel avermectin endectocide.
