Synthesis of (3R,25R)‐3,25‐dihydroxyhexacosyl α‐D‐glucopyranoside, the heterocyst glycolipid of the marine cyanobacterium Nodularia harveyana

Abstract

Abstract(3R,25R)‐3,25‐Dihydroxyhexacosyl α‐D‐glucopyranoside (1a), the heterocyst glycolipid of Nodularia harveyana, was synthesized by starting from D‐glucose, (S)‐malic acid (4), 1‐octadecyne (5) and ethyl (R)‐3‐hydroxybutanoate (6). magnified image
