Novel fidaxomicin antibiotics through site-selective catalysis

Fidaxomicin is a narrow spectrum antibiotic, and broadening its activity through structural modification could provide new antibiotics. Here semi-synthetic derivatives are prepared through site-selective esterification and allylic substitution to efficiently modify or substitute key carbohydrate moi...
