Abstract
The reaction of formaldehyde and benzaldehyde with the glycopeptide antibiotic eremomycin in the presence of NaBH3CN yielded a number of methyl and benzyl derivatives substituted at the amino groups. Some of the benzyl derivatives have a high antibacterial activity, but it is somewhat less than that of the parent compounds.
