ABSOLUTE CONFIGURATIONS OF TWO SUGARS OF ANTIBIOTIC B-58941

Absolute configurations of neutral sugar of antibiotic B-58941 and two methyl glycosides of its dihydro-sugar are assumed as 2,3,6-trideoxy-L-hexopyranos-4-ulose and methyl 2,3,6-trideoxy-(α or β)-L-erythro-hexopyranoside, respectively. Methyl glycoside of a basic sugar of B-58941-B is identified as methyl D-mycaminoside.
