C. Bonini et al., SYNTHESIS OF THE C-1-C-10 FRAGMENT OF THE MACROLIDE ANTIBIOTIC NYSTATIN A(1) FROM A CHIRAL BUILDING-BLOCK OBTAINED VIA CHEMOENZYMATIC APPROACH, Tetrahedron letters, 37(14), 1996, pp. 2487-2490
a novel synthesis of C-1-C-10 fragment of Nystatin A(1) was accomplish
ed: the synthetic sequence utilized, as chiral building block, a prote
cted syn 1,3 polyol previously obtained by chemoenzymatic route; The f
inal fully protected fragment was then transformed to a known lactone
in order to demonstrate the correct relative and absolute configuratio
