Abstract
3'-Deoxy derivatives of neamine, 6'-N-alkylneamine, kanamycin B, 6'-N-alkylkanamycin B, ribostamycin, 6'-N-alkylribostamycin and paromamine may be produced by a new process comprising reducing the 3',4'-.alpha.-anhydro derivative (namely, the 3',4'-epoxide derivative) of the aminoglycosidic antibiotics with hydrogen in an alkaline lower alkanol medium containing an alkali metal hydroxide or alkoxide dissolved therein and in the presence of a reducing catalyst such as Raney nickel. The 3',4'-.alpha.-anhydro derivative may be prepared by treating the 3'-sulfonylated derivative of the amino-protected and hydroxyl-protected neamine, 6'-N-alkylneamine, kanamycin B, 6'-N-alkylkanamycin B, ribostamycin, 6'-N-alkylribostamycin or paromamine with an alkali metal hydroxide or alkoxide in a lower alkanol to effect epoxidation between the 4'-hydroxyl group and the carbon atom substituted by the 3'-sulfonic ester group.
