The absolute configuration was determined for the title compound, C38H70NO13+·Cl−·3.5H2O. The cation contains a 14‐membered macrocyclic lactone and two sugars, namely cladinose and desosamine. The six‐membered rings of the sugars adopt chair conformations. The structure is stabilized by strong hydrogen bonds, with O⃛O distances in the range 2.486 (9)–2.830 (5) Å; other distances are N⃛O = 2.860 (5), N⃛Cl = 3.134 (4) and O⃛Cl = 3.303 (4) Å.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
