Abstract
3-Hydroxyrifamycin S and its new analogues with an etherified or esterified 3-hydroxyl group of the formula ##STR1## in which each of R and R' represents a hydrogen atom, or R' represents acetyl and R represents hydrogen, an optionally substituted hydrocarbyl or the acyl radical of a carboxylic acid, and also the corresponding compounds of the SV series, are obtained by a novel process in which 3-bromorifamycin S is treated with a reagent ROH, in which R has the meanings mentioned above, or with a salt thereof, in a neutral to weakly basic medium. The final products are primarily suitable as antibiotics for combating microbial infections and/or as intermediates for the manufacture of the same.
