title: Determination of the relative and absolute configuration of the dimethylmyristoyl side chain of pneumocandin B0 by asymmetric synthesis.
abstract: [reaction: see text] The relative and absolute configuration of the pneumocandin B(0) side chain has been established as (10R,12S)-dimethylmyristoyl by the stereocontrolled synthesis of both antipodes of the side chain acid and their comparison to a sample derived from the natural product.
