THE ISOLATION AND ABSOLUTE-CONFIGURATION OF (1S, 2S, 3R)-4-HYDROXYMETHYLCYCLOPENT-4-ENE-1,2,3-TRIOL - A PUTATIVE INTERMEDIATE IN THE BIOSYNTHESIS OF ARISTEROMYCIN BY STREPTOMYCES-CITRICOLOR
Sm. Roberts et al., THE ISOLATION AND ABSOLUTE-CONFIGURATION OF (1S, 2S, 3R)-4-HYDROXYMETHYLCYCLOPENT-4-ENE-1,2,3-TRIOL - A PUTATIVE INTERMEDIATE IN THE BIOSYNTHESIS OF ARISTEROMYCIN BY STREPTOMYCES-CITRICOLOR, Tetrahedron letters, 34(25), 1993, pp. 4083-4086
The novel tetrol 5 has been isolated from cultures of Streptomyces cit
ricolor and shown to have the absolute configuration 1S,2S,3R. Additio
n of 5 to an aristeromycin non-producing mutant of S. citricolor suppo
rted production of both aristeromycin 1 and neplanocin A 2, suggesting
that 5 is an intermediate on the biosynthetic pathway.
