21. The original specific rotation of thiazole 8 isolated from micrococcin was erroneously reported as dextrorotatory. BROOKES, P.; A. T. FULLER & J. WALKER: Chemistry of micrococcin P. Part I. J. Chem. Soc.: 689-699, 1957. This was corrected subsequently.16) In three separate hydrolysis experiments, the specific rotation was found to be laevorotatory at concentrations ranging from c 0.5-2.5.
