New and efficient synthetic routes to 1-deoxy-D-xylulose
Giner, Jose-Luis
, p. 2479 - 2482 (1998)
The biochemically important deoxysugar 1-deoxy-D-xylulose was synthesized by improved methods. D-Tartaric acid is the starting material for a synthesis which proceeds via the intermediacy of 2,3,4-tribenzyl-D- threitol. Another, highly efficient route use, the Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation of 5-benzyloxy-3-penten-2-one as its key step. These syntheses are especially useful-for isotopic labelling.
Studies on the biosynthesis of the antibiotic moenomycin A

, p. 761 - 772 (2007/10/03)
Feeding experiments (13C and 15N-labeled precursors) shed light on the biosynthetic origin of the chromophore (unit A of 1), the N-acetyl groups, the 4-C-methyl group of the moenuronamide unit (part F of 1), the sugar units, and the
