The optical antipode of anhydromyriocin, the γ-lactone derived from the antibiotic myriocin (thermozymocidin), was synthesized from L-arabinose, establishing the absolute configuration of myriocin as 47. In contrast to its natural enantiomer, it showed but little antifungal activity.
D- and L-nucleosides and analogues thereof, including the 4'-thionucleoside series, are one of the most important biological and pharmaceutically active classes of compounds. A novel approach to their synthesis from chiral acyclic thioaminal, bearing the nucleobase, is described.
