Process for the preparation of 2,5-dideoxystreptamine and of a novel intermediate therefor

摘要

The aminocyclitol 2,5-dideoxystreptamine may be prepared by a novel two-step synthesis from cis-4,8-dioxatricyclo [5.1.0.03,5]octane. The aminocyclitol and a novel intermediate in the synthesis thereof are utilized by a Micromonospora inyoensis (M. inoyensis strain 1550F-1G NRRL 5742) for the elaboration of a novel antibacterial agent designated Mutamicin 2.
