“…These data can be obtained free of charge from The Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre,F igure 4), thus unambiguously confirming the revised structure.I ti sn oteworthy that the crystal structure adopts aconformer with the lateral chain folding towards the aminopurine moiety,w hich has been proposed as the major conformer in solution by BlØriot, Sinaþ,R auter,a nd co-workers based on NMR spectroscopy. [5] In conclusion, the structure of amipurimycin (2), the peptidyl nucleoside antibiotic with potent inhibitory activities against phytopathogenic fungi, has been unambiguously revised via total synthesis and X-ray diffraction analysis. Theo riginally proposed configurations at C3' and C8' are inverted and those at C6',C2'',and C3'' have been corrected.…”
