title: The synthesis of a single enantiomer of a major alpha-mycolic acid of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
abstract: We report a synthesis of a single enantiomer of a dicyclopropane containing mycolic acid from Mycobacterium tuberculosis; this method can be simply varied to modify the chain lengths or the absolute stereochemistry of either cyclopropane.
