Abstract p‐Alkoxy‐substituted cinnamylthiouronium salts 7, 13, 21a, and 21b reacted
selectively with the 2‐acylamino‐1, 3‐cyclopentanedione unit A of moenomycin A (1) to give
the corresponding 2‐alkylated products 14a, 14b, 22a, and 22b. These products, depending
on the pH of the solution, were either stable under the reaction conditions or they underwent
retro‐Claisen‐type reactions. The method can be used for the attachment of reporter groups
to moenomycin A for the synthesis of, for example, 25.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH, 69451 …
