7. There are four possible enantiomeric pairs that correspond to the structural formula of FR252921. Each pair is diastereomeric with respect to the other three pairs. Thus, when analyzed in conjunction with optical rotation or chiral-phase chromatography, one isomer from each of the diastereomeric pairs (that is, a total of four) contains the minimum stereoarray needed to establish the relative and absolute configuration of FR252921.
8. Available NMR spectroscopic data were most consistent with an anti configuration of the methyl and hydroxy groups at C12 and C13.
