Abstract

It has been shown to act as an inhibitor of protein~ ynthesis,~ and it finds wide use in the treatment of trichomonas vaginitis and amebic dysentery. Its absolute configuration was definitively established in 1968 by chemical correlation with tyrosine.^ Several chiral syntheses of (-)-anisomycin have appeared in literature for the most part employing naturally occurring starting materials such as carbohydrate^,^ amino acids: and L-tartaric acid or its ...
