The structure of a new antibiotic, CV-1 was determined to be 1, 2-diamino-1, 2-N, N'-carbonyl-1, 2-dideoxy-α-D-glucose hydrate by spectral and chemical studies. CV-1 possessed a unique open ring hemiaminal structure. CV-1 synthesized from N-car bamoyl-D-glucosamine was identical to material isolated from fermentation.
