S. Deloisy et al., SYNTHESIS OF 6-FLUOROQUINOLONES SUBSTITUTED AT C-7 BY 1'-DEMETHYLLINCOMYCIN AND BY DIHYDROCONESSIMINE, Heterocycles, 41(2), 1995, pp. 259-265
The boron-chelated carboxylic acid of 6,7-difluoroquinolone (8) was su
bstituted at C-7 by the 2,3,4,7-tetra-Q-acetate of 1'-demethyllincomyc
in (4) and by dihydroconessimine (14). The resulting dechelated produc
ts did not reveal any antibacterial activity. A new efficient procedur
e for the preparation of the 2,3,4,7-tetra-Q-acetate of 1'-demethyllin
comycin (4) is proposed.
