title: Polyene antibiotics. VIII. The structure of rimocidin.
abstract: A structure is assigned to the tetraene antibiotic rimocidin, based in part on 13C NMR spectroscopy and field desorption mass spectrometry. The structure assigned revises a structure proposed in 1966 which was anomalous in relation to those of other polyene antibiotics.
