One of the major disadvantages of the antibiotic erythromycin A is the poor pharmacokinetic profile caused by its acid instability. Underlow pH conditions, the formation of the relatively inactive 6, 9-enol ether 1 and6, 9-9, 12 spiroketal 2 occurs* 1 (Scheme I), and many attempts at avoiding this degradative process through modification of the C-9 carbonyl center or blocking of the C-6 hydroxyl have been pursued. 2 In this paper we report our synthesis of 9 (fi)-dihydro-6, 9-anhydroerythromycin A (4) and other 6, 9-linked analogs which should have increased acid stability as compared to erythromycin A. The 6, 9-ether structure was targeted since modeling studies predicted conservation of the structural integrity of the lactone and pendant sugars. Our first approach involved the catalytic hydrogenation of erythromycin A enol ether and was initially carried out as per the reduction by Kurath3 of the enol ether of erythronolide B. Under similar conditions (TFA, acetic acid, 50 psi of H2), erythromycin A enol ether led to a complex mixture of products which, following a tedious isolation, afforded 6, 9-ether 3a as the major product in low yield. Compound 3a was shown to have the 9 (fi) configuration and the unnatural 8 (S) stereochemistryby X-ray crystallographic analysis4 of the 2/-0-p-bromobenzoatederivative prepared in stan-dard fashion (Figure 1). This stereochemical result indicates a cis addition of the reagent from the a face. By modifying the conditions5 for the reduction, we could produce 3a in an optimal 50% yield. Since compound 3a had the unnatural and normally less active configuration at C-8, other approaches toward the preparation of the natural8 (fi) ring system were attempted. Diazotization of 9 (fi), 9 (S)-erythromycyl-amines, 6 deoxygenation of C-9 hemiketal intermediates, 7 and hydroboration of the enol ether all failed to produce
