N. Kawamura et al., PYRALOMICINS, NOVEL ANTIBIOTICS FROM MICROTETRASPORA-SPIRALIS .4. ABSOLUTE-CONFIGURATION, Journal of antibiotics, 50(2), 1997, pp. 147-149
The absolute configurations of pyralomicin 1a and pyralomicin 2a were
determined by X-ray crystallographic analyses of crystalline 7'-O-p-br
omobenzoylpyralomicin 1a and 2'-O-p-bromobenzoylpyralomicin 2a derived
from pyralomicin 1a and pyralomicin 2a using anomalous scattering of
the bromine atom. The absolute configurations of pyralomicins 1b-1d an
d 2b-2c were suggested to be the same as pyralomicin 1a and pyralomici
n 2a, respectively, by comparing the circular dichroism spectra.
