Preferred substituted phenyl and phenoxy radicals Ra, Rb, Rc and R d are those which are substituted by from 1 to 3 substituents from the group C1-C 3 alkyl and Ci-C3alkoxy, and especially those in which the total -3number of carbon atoms of all the substituents of one ring when taken together does not exceed the number 5. Preferred substituents of the phenyl and phenoxy radicals are methyl and methoxy.
Ph is especially phenyl, a phenyl radical substituted by from one to three methyl groups, a phenyl radical substituted by from one to three methoxy groups, or a phenyl radical substituted by one phenyl or one phenoxy group.
Suitable structural elements symbolised by «Ph» are those which can be derived from compounds that are obtainable by customary chemical methods.
Throughout this specification, OH-protecting groups for the substituents o 09 *oo R and Ri are to be understood as being the protective functions that are S customary in organic chemistry. These are especially acyl and silyl groups. Suitable acyl groups are, for example, the radicals R4-C(O)-, Swherein R4 is Ci-Cloalkyl, Ci-Ciohaloalkyl, or a group from the series o 0 phenyl and benzyl that is unsubstituted or is substituted by one or more substituents selected from the group consisting of halogen, Ci-C 3 alkyl, Ci-C 3 haloalkyl, Ci-C 3 alkoxy, C 1

-C

)(R
7 wherein Rs, R 6 and R 7 preferably independently of one another, are Ci-Calkyl, benzyl or phenyl 0 0 and form, for example, together with the silicon atom, one of the groups trimethylsilyl, tris(tert.-butyl)silyl, diphenyl-tert.-butylsilyl, bis(isopropyl)methylsilyl, triphenylsilyl etc. and, especially, tert.- S butyl-dimethyl-silyl. The 5-OH group may also be etherified in the form of benzyl ether or methoxyethoxy methyl ether.
Compounds of formula I wherein X is the group -CH(ORi)- or and Ri and R are each a protecting group can be converted into the highly active free 5-hydroxy derivatives (Ri H) or the 5-oxime derivatives (R H) by simple removal of the protecting function, for example by hydrolysis, and thus have also the character of intermediates. The biological value of these compounds is not, however, reduced at all or to 4 -4any significant extent by the protecting group. The removal of the protecting group by hydrolysis can be effected with a dilute acid, for example with 1 p-toluenesulfonic acid in methanol or with an aqueous HF solution in acetonitrile at from -20 0 C to 50 0 C, preferably at from 0 0 C to 0 C, or alternatively with pyridinium fluoride in pyridine.
The above-mentioned acyl and silyl groups serve as protecting groups not only for hydroxy groups present in the substituent X but also for all other hydroxy groups present in the compounds of the invention or in precursors of those compounds.
Compounds of formula I wherein X is -CH(ORI)- and RI is hydrogen are preferred. Acyl and silyl groups as R and R 1 are generally to be regarded as protecting groups.
Throughout this specification, compounds in which Rz is sec.-butyl are S also to be classified as milbemycin derivatives although, according to conventional classification, they are derived from avermectin derivatives. Avermectin aglycons (having an OH group in the 13a-position) can, however, be converted into milbemycin homologues in accordance with US-PS 4,173,571.

Avermectins also differ struc- 22,23 turally from milbemycins by a 23-OH group or A 23 -double bond and, as a rule, by a substituent R 2 sec.-C4H9. Hydrolysis of the sugar residue of avermectins readily produces the corresponding avermectin aglycons that contain an allylic 13a-hydroxy group. As stated above, avermectin aglycons can be converted into milbemycin homologues. In the milbemycin 22,23 derivatives of this Application, the A 2′-double bond is always in o’ hydrogenated form.

The present invention relates not only to the compounds of formula I but also to novel processes for their preparation. It has been found that, surprisingly, the substituent «Ph» can be bonded in a deliberate manner stereospecifically in the -configuration to the 13-C atom of the macrolide molecule by reacting the corresponding 131-halogen compound or 13,14 the corresponding 15-halogen-A derivative with an aryl metal compound, in which the aryl moiety corresponds to the substituent «Ph», in the presence of a catalytic amount of a transition metal salt. The halogen reaction of compounds of the type -9 withi aryl metal -14 a o C a each of Ra, R, Rc and Rd, independently of the others, is hydrogen, Ci-Cioalkyl, C2-Cloalkoxyalkyl, Cz-Cioalkenyl, Ci-Coalkoxy, C-Coalkoxyalkoxy, or a phenyl or phenoxy radical that is unsubstituted or is substituted by at least one substituent from the group Ci-C 3 alkyl and CI-C3alkoxy. -8i, compounds, catalysed by a transition metal salt, is known from the literature (Acc. Chem. Res. 1982, 15, 340-348), and, as a rule, this reaction takes place with inversion. This means that, for example, when reacting a corresponding 13a-halogen-milbemycin derivative with an aryl metal compound, catalysed by a transition metal salt, the formation of a 13a-arylmilbemycin derivative is to be expected. Surprisingly, however, only 13B-arylmilbemycin derivatives are obtained.
Accordingly, the invention further relates to a process for the preparation of compounds of formula I, which process comprises reacting a compound of formula II 1 6 .CH3 .o S* O 17 4e4s 12: 1 OH R1 4 «r H0C (II) II I

If desired, intermediates may be isolated from the reaction mixture and, if desired, purified in customary manner, e.g. by washing, digestion, extraction, recrystallisation, chromatography, etc., before being further reacted. It is, however, also possible to dispense with such purification steps and carry them out only with corresponding end products.

When the reaction is complete, the silyl protecting group can be removed again by treating the compounds of formula I with a dilute acid, such as, for example, with 1 p-toluenesulfonic acid in methanol or with an aqueous HF solution in acetonitrile in a temperature range of from -20 0

The reduction can be effected, for example, in accordance with the Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley reduction using aluminium isopropanolate in isopropanol.
Compounds of formula I in which X is can be prepared, for example, by reacting compounds of formula I in which X is with hydroxylamine or a salt thereof and, if desired, subsequently introducing the substituent R, R having the meanings given for formula I with the exception of hydrogen, or by carrying out the reaction with a compound of formula NH 2 -OR wherein R has the meanings given for formula I with the exception of hydrogen, or with a salt thereof. Suitable salts are, for example, salts of the above-mentioned amino compounds with sulfuric acid, nitric acid or, especially, hydrochloric acid.

The reaction temperatures may vary within wide limits. Advantageously, a temperature in the range of, for example, from +10 0 C to +100 0 C is used. If hydroxylamine is used S in the form of one of its salts, for example in the form of the hydrochloride, it is advantageous, in order to bind the acid, to add one of the bases customarily used for such purposes and, where necessary, to carry out the reaction in the presence of a water-binding agent, for example a molecular sieve. Suitable bases are organic and inorganic bases, e.g. tertiary amines such as trialkylamines (trimethylamine, trit ethylamine, tripropylamine etc.), pyridine and pyridine bases (4-dimethylaminopyridine, 4-pyrrolidylaminopyridine etc.), oxides, hydrides and hydroxides, carbonates and hydrogen carbonates of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals (CaO, BaO, NaOH, KOH, NaH, Ca(OH)2, KHCO3, NaHCO 3 Ca(HCO 3 2

Using an injection needle, each tick is injected with 1 pl of a liquid consisting of a 1:1 mixture of polyethylene glycol and acetone in which a specific amount of active ingredient of 1.0 pg per tick has been dissolved. Control ticks receive an injection that does not contain active ingredient. After treatment, the ticks are kept in an insectarium under normal conditions at about 28 0 C and 80 relative humidity until oviposition has taken place and the larvae have hatched from the eggs of the control ticks.
