Abstract
An efficient and versatile synthesis of 1-deoxy-[4,4- 2H 2]- d-xylulose 1b (= 1-deoxy-[4,4- 2H 2]- d- threopentulose) from dimethyl 2,3- O-isopropylidene- d-tartrate in 31% overall yield is described. The synthetic protocol allows a flexible adaptation to other labelling patterns and isotopes. Labelled 1-deoxy-xylulose is of high value as a metabolic probe in biosynthetic studies towards terpenoids and prenylated compounds following the Rohmer pathway. © 1997 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
