There is no reported total synthesis of chloroeremomycin, although there are several total syntheses of vancomycin. The structures of vancomycin and chloroeremomycin are very similar, differing only in the glycosylation sites. Vancomycin is glycosylated at aa4 with a (2-beta1)-Glc-vancosamine disaccharide. As mentioned above, chloroeremomycin is glycosylated at aa4 with a (2-beta1)-Glc-epivancosamine disaccharide and at aa6 with a beta1-epivancosamine saccharide.
