Synthesis of a deuterated analogue of bacteriohopanetetrol-glucosamine, a probe of complex hopanoid biosynthesis.
This study reports the straightforward preparation of a deuterated biohopanoid that will be used to probe a new biosynthetic pathway. This multistep hemisynthesis required a stereoselective glycosylation, a regioselective deuteration as well as a properly defined strategy for the final deprotections and the purification of the amphiphilic final glycoside.
