title: Synthetic trehalose esters of cis-alkene and diene α'-mycolic acids of Mycobacteria.
abstract: The synthesis of an α'-mycolic acid of Mycobacterium smegmatis and other mycobacteria, containing a cis,cis-diene, and of the trehalose mono- and di-mycolates of this, and of a related α'-mycolic acid containing one cis-alkene, is reported.
