“…Finally, removal of the Boc group in 29 with trifluoroacetic acid and subsequent cleavage of the benzoyl and two acetyl groups in a mixture of aqueous ammonia and methanol yielded glycocinnasperimicin D (1). To our delight, careful and laborious purification by HPLC provided pure synthetic material 1 (23 % yield, isolated as the hydrochloride), the spectral data ( 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, HRMS), TLC behavior, and antimicrobial activity of which were in good agreement with those of the natural glycocinnasperimicin D.…”
