Sphydrofuran ( 1 ) was isolated from the culture filtrate of Streptomyces sp. (strain Gö 28 and Tü 3616) by chemical screening methods. Metabolite 1 is an anomeric and ring‐chain tautomeric mixture and could easily be transformed into the stable furan derivative 2 under acidic conditions. The constitution and relative configuration of 1 was established by X‐ray crystallography of its 8‐ O ‐methyl derivative 3a. The absolute configuration at C(4) of 1 and thus of the whole molecule (3 R ,4 S ,5 S ) could be determined starting from 2 using the Helmchen method.
