The crystal structure of the antibiotic hedamycin ( 1 ) has been solved by direct method and refined by least squares techniques to R = 0.091 for 2289 of 2643 independent reflexions. Crystals of C 41 H 50 N 2 O 11 are orthorhombic, space group P2 1 2 1 2 1 with lattice parameters a = 24.239 (12), b = 21.440 (10), c = 7.369 (4) Å, Z = 4. The structural features of hedamycin derived earlier by chemical and spectroscopical means are confirmed. Optical rotation and circular dichroism indicate that hedamycin ( 1 ) has the absolute configuration of the related antibiotic kidamycin ( 3 ). The conformation of ring F is a chair form with the aryl substituent almost axial. The bioxirane part of the antibiotic is in a synclinal conformation.
