active against the pine wood nematode (Bursaphelenchus lignicolus) than avermectin B1a.
They consist of a unique functional vinylazoxy group. Herein, we disclose not only the

for jietacin A, B, C, and (S and R) D in 30–36% overall yield, incorporating reductive
hydrazination, regioselective azoxy formation, and C–C bond formation via acylation using …
