Abstract
Reaction of daunomycinone (I) with alcohols and p-toluenesulfonic acid produces a mixture (~3 : 1) of its (7S)- and (7R)-O-alkyl derivatives II-IX. According to the 1H NMR evidence, the alicyclic ring exists in the 9H8 conformation in (7R)-O-alkyl derivatives, on the contrary to (7S)-epimers and 7-epi-daunomycinone that adopt the 8H9 conformation.
