Qur aim was to provide a new route for the synthesis

skelston and the ~-hydroxyethyl side chain, or a sida chain
which can be conver~ed easily into ~-hydroxy~hyl group~ are

intermediat~s is also described in the examples of the
present application.
It has also been observed that7 prior to converting
the intermediate of the general formula ~VI) into thiena~
mycin or an analogue thereof~ i~ is prefera~le to protect the
keto group of the ~-C-a~etyl side chain with a group9
particularly a ketal group or a thioanalogue th~reof, which
