Syntheses and Antibacterial Activities of Novel Erythromycin O-Alkylamidoximes

Nine novel erythromycin O-alkylamidoxime derivatives were prepared in excellent yields via the condensation of different O-alkylhydroxylamines with erythromycin imino ether. The structures of all the compounds prepared were confirmed by ^1 H NMR, 13C NMR, IR and MS, and their in vtiro antibacterial activities were tested. Among the compounds, two of them showed good antibacterial aetivities.
