The first synthesis of 6'-C-aminomethyl derivatives (6'-epimers) of 3'-deoxyparomamine is reported starting from 3'-deoxyparomamine by way of 6'-O-tritylation, O-acetylation, hydrolysis of the trityl group, conversion of the 6'-hydroxyl group into an aldehyde group, nitromethane condensation of the aldehyde group and catalytic reduction of the nitro group into an amino group.
