Abstract
As the degradation products of recemomycin-O, β-lysine (I), roseonine (II), and D-glucosamine (IV) were obtained. β-Lysine and roseonine were isolated as picrates and the amino sugar was identified by paper chromatography and isolated as N-benzoyloxycarbonyl derivative which was identical with the authentic N-benzoyloxycarbonyl-D-glucosamine in mixed melting point and optical rotations.
