Abstract: The interaction of 1,4-di-O-acetyl-N-trifluoroacetyl-L-eremosamine (α:β 1:2 or 1:4) with ε-rhodomycinone, carminomycinone or 14-O-acetyloxycarminomycinone in the presence of trimethylsilyltriflate afforded the corresponding 4-O-acetyl-N-trifluoroacetyl-L-eremosaminides. L-Eremosamine (4-epi-L-vancosamine) was obtained by hydrolysis of the glycopeptide antibiotic eremomycine. Deblocking of the ε-rhodomycinone and carminomycinone glycosides led to the O,N-unprotected α-L-glycosides. Cytostatic properties of the new anthracyclinone glycosides were investigated.
