5-Oxatetracyclines
were synthesized from d-arabinose using
sequential Michael–Claisen cyclization reactions via a 5-oxa-AB
enone substrate. The 5-oxatetracyclines were found to have poor stability
in aqueous buffer (pH 7.4, 37 °C) and showed little to no inhibition
of bacterial growth (S. aureus, E. coli).
