title: A short synthesis of D-glycero-D-manno-heptose 7-phosphate.
abstract: D-glycero-D-manno-Heptopyranose 7-phosphate-an intermediate in the biosynthesis of nucleotide-activated heptoses-has been prepared in good overall yield from benzyl 5,6-dideoxy-2,3-O-isopropylidene-alpha-D-lyxo-(Z)-hept-5-enofuranoside by a short-step synthesis. Phosphitylation using the phosphoramidite procedure followed by in situ oxidation afforded the corresponding 7-O-phosphotriester derivative in high yield. Subsequent osmylation proceeded in good diastereoselectivity (4:1) to furnish the D-glycero-D-manno-configured derivative, which was separated from the L-glycero-L-gulo-isomer by chromatography. Hydrogenolysis led to simultaneous removal of the benzyl and isopropylidene groups and afforded the target compound in high yield, which serves as a substrate of bacterial heptose 7-phosphate kinases.
