“…16 On the basis of the H-H coupling constants J 14,15 (15 Hz) and J 16,17 (14 Hz), the configuration of the carbon-carbon double bonds in the diene was assigned as E geometry. Therefore, all of the relative stereochemistry on the 14-membered macrolide ring was assigned as 2S*, 3S*, 5R*, 6S*, 7R*, 9S*, 13S*, E 10,11 , E 14, 15 , and E 16,17 .…”
