SYNTHESIS OF METHYL-ESTERS OF 3-DEOXY-D-ERYTHRO-2-HEXULOSONIC ACID (KDG) ANALOGS, INDUCERS OF THE EXPRESSION OF PECTINASE GENES IN BACTERIAERWINIA-CHRYSANTHEMI
F. Alessi et al., SYNTHESIS OF METHYL-ESTERS OF 3-DEOXY-D-ERYTHRO-2-HEXULOSONIC ACID (KDG) ANALOGS, INDUCERS OF THE EXPRESSION OF PECTINASE GENES IN BACTERIAERWINIA-CHRYSANTHEMI, Tetrahedron, 52(13), 1996, pp. 4625-4636
Two title compounds, methyl 3-deoxy-L-threo-2-hexulosonate 3 and methy
l 3,5-dideoxy-D-glycero-2-hexulosonate 4, were prepared from D-glucono
-1,5-lactone and proved to be gratuitous inducers of the expression of
pectinase genes in the phytopathogenic bacteria Erwinia chrysanthemi.
