Abstract
Spinosyn B bears very potent insecticidal acitivity. However, it is difficult to obtain because of its low concentration in natural. In this paper, spinosyn B was successfully synthesized from spinosyn A, the major component in spinosad, utilizing iodine, sodium acetate and sodium hydroxide as reagents and methanol as the solvent. After optimization, the yield has been improved to 81%. The structure of spinosyn B was confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and HRESI-MS.
