Abstract
The protected pentapeptide formyl‐L‐leucyl‐N^γ^‐benzyloxycarbonyl‐L‐α,γ‐diaminobutyryl‐N^γ^‐benzyloxycarbonyl‐L‐α,γ‐diaminobutyryl‐L‐threonyl‐N^γ^‐benzyloxycarbonyl‐L‐α,γ‐diaminobutyric acid, a sequence which is known to occur in the polymyxins, has been synthesized. Different coupling methods including the azide route lead to the same end product, with the same optical rotation. We therefore believe our pentapeptide to be optically pure.

## Abstract The protected open decapeptide XIII, related to one of the four possible structures for polymyxin B~1~ has been synthesized by condensing together the pentapeptides 1‐2‐3‐4‐5 and 1′‐2′‐6‐7‐8 using either the azide method or the carbodiimide procedure.
The structure of solanesol has been confirmed by total synthesis starting from trans-geranylacetone. By six successive isoprenoid extensions via the tertiary acetylene carbinols, partial hydrogenation of the triple bond, transformation into the primary bromide and acetoacetic ester synthesis, the al
The cyclic decapeptide 8α, another of the four possible structures deduced for the natural polymyxin B~1~ by the usual degradation methods, has been synthesized. It appears not to be identical with polymyxin B~1~ in view of its reduced antibacterial activity __in vitro__.
## Abstract The synthesis of an antibiotic substance to which we assign the structure 7α, one of the four possible formulas proposed for natural polymyxin B~1~, is reported. Although both synthetic and the natural product have the same antimicrobial activity towards __Brucella bronchiseptica in vit
