title: Semisynthetic preparation of leucomycin derivatives: introduction of aromatic side chains by reductive amination.
abstract: A small library of leucomycin A7 derivatives was prepared by NaCNBH3/ZnCl2-mediated reductive amination of the C18 aldehyde moiety with a variety of lipophilic benzylamines and tested for antibiotic activity.
