Synthesis of tritium labelled 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol, a useful substrate for the elucidation of the methylerythritol phosphate pathway for isoprenoid biosynthesis

Free 2,C-methyl-D-erythritol is utilised for isoprenoid biosynthesis by Escherichia coli mutants lacking the two first enzymes of the methylerythritol phosphate pathway, the deoxyxylulose phosphate synthase and isomero-reductase. For feeding experiments, this tetrol was synthesised with an overall 43% yield from readily available 1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-D- xylofuranose, including the possibility of tritium labelling.
