Abstract

The three‐dimensional structure of the antibiotic oxolide, (9__S__,11S)‐11‐amino‐9‐deoxo‐11,12‐deoxy‐9,12‐epoxyerythromycin, was determined in CD~2~Cl~2~ through constrained molecular mechanics with constraints derived from proton NMR. The calculations yielded a well‐defined global minimum. Data acquired for oxolide in D~2~O, although not as complete, indicate that the antibiotic adopts the same conformation in water.
