Synthesis and stereochemistry of musacins isolated from Streptomyces griseoviridis (FH-S 1832)
Abstract
Musacins E (1a), B1 (2a) and B2 (3a) have been synthesized starting from D-erythronolactone, L-tartaric acid and (S)-malic acid. The absolute stereochemistry of musacins was unambiguously established by this synthesis.
