A synthetic pathway producing the title compound starting from methyl α-D-glucose is described. This compound was shown to be a substrate for DesVI, an AdoMet-dependent methyltransferase which catalyzes N,N-dimethylation of the title compound to give a biological significant unusual sugar, desosamine.

Purification and characterization of a new enzyme belonging to the amino sugar N,N-dimethyltransferase family has been achieved. DesVI catalyzes the successive transfer of two methyl groups in the biosynthetic pathway of desosamine (see scheme), an unusua
