H. Hotoda et al., Novel intramolecular radical Ar-C glycosylation-lactonization reaction in the transformation of capuramycin, HETEROCYCLE, 52(1), 2000, pp. 133-136
Radical deoxygenation of capuramycin derivative (2a,b) gave the unexpected
lactone (3a,b) in moderate yield via a novel intramolecular radical Ar-C gl
ycosylation-lactonization reaction. R-115381 and R-116022, thus obtained, s
howed weak antimicrobial activity against several Gram-positive bacteria.
