Abstract:

Carbon magnetic resonance establishes conclusively that six polyene macrolide antibiotics containing keto groups (the heptaene amphotericin B, the tetraene-diene nystatin A1, and the tetraenes tetrin A, tetrin B, pimaricin, and lucensomycin) exist in the hemiketal form in solution. Their spectra all contain a hemiketal carbon's absorption near 97 ppm but lack a keto carbon's absorption near 210 ppm. The non-polyenic macrolide erythromycin, on the other hand, exists in the keto form.
