Six deuterium labelled N-acylcysteamine polyketide derivatives (3)-(8)
have been prepared as putative precursors for incorporation in studie
s of the biosynthesis of the ionophore antibiotic tetronasin (1). The
route to these compounds was designed to flexible and to maximise the
use of common synthetic fragments.
