Abstract
The observation that the desosamine sugar unit in erythromycin and the methyl thiolincosaminide portion of lincomycin occupy virtually identical sites on the 23S rRNA according to X-ray crystallograpaic data, instigated the synthesis of 3-N,N-dimethylamino-3-deoxy lincomycin as a hybrid structure. The synthesis in eight steps from lincomycin, involving a trans-diequatorial opening of an intermediate epoxide as the key step, is described.
