S. Shefferdeenoor et al., SYNTHESIS OF NOVEL PHOSPHONATE ANALOG OF KDO AS A TOOL FOR THE DESIGNOF POTENT INHIBITORS FOR LIPOPOLYSACCHARIDE BIOSYNTHESIS, Tetrahedron letters, 35(28), 1994, pp. 5077-5080
The new phosphonate analogue 3 of 2-deoxy-beta-Kdo (2) was prepared in
a stereospecific manner via intramolecular C-C bond formation. X-Ray
structure analysis and NMR studies of the cyclyzation product establis
hed the twist-boat conformation of the pyranose ring with alpha-anomer
ic configuration of the phosphonate linkage.
