title: Absolute stereochemistry of the strevertenes.
abstract: The CD exciton chirality method was applied to determine the absolute stereochemistry of the strevertenes, antifungal pentaene macrolides produced by Streptoverticillium sp. LL-30F848. The CD difference spectrum of strevertene A methyl ester 15-dimethylaminobenzoate showed a positive couplet between the dimethylaminobenzoate and the pentaene chromophores, and therefore established the 15R configuration. Thus, by considering the relative configurations of the remaining stereogenic centers as derived from X-ray crystallography and ROESY experiments, the absolute stereochemistry of the strevertenes is established as 2R, 3S, 5S, 7S, 11R, 13R, 14R, 15R, 26S and 27R.
