A series of methoxy and deoxy derivatives of mannopyranose-1-phosphate (Manp-1P) were chemically synthesized, and their ability to be converted into the corresponding guanosine diphosphate mannopyranose (GDP-Manp) analogues by a pyrophosphorylase (GDP-ManPP) from Salmonella enterica was studied. Evaluation of methoxy analogues demonstrated that GDP-ManPP is intolerant of bulky substituents at the C-2, C-3, and C-4 positions, in turn suggesting that these positions are buried inside the enzyme active site. Additionally, both the 6-methoxy and 6-deoxy Manp-1P derivatives are good or moderate substrates for GDP-ManPP, thus indicating that the C-6 hydroxy group of the Manp-1P substrate is not required for binding to the enzyme. When taken into consideration with other previously published work, it appears that this enzyme has potential utility for the chemoenzymatic synthesis of GDP-Manp analogues, which are useful probes for studying enzymes that employ this sugar nucleotide as a substrate.
CHAIN ELONGATION BY USE OF AN IRON CARBONYL REAGENT: A FACILE SYNTHESIS OF 6-DEOXYHEPTOSIDURONIC ACIDS

A method of chain elongation at the nonreducing terminal of 6-deoxy-6-halo- and 6-O-tosyl-hexopyranosides, to give methyl (methyl 6-deoxyheptopyranosid)uronates was developed on the basis of organo-iron chemistry.Thus, methyl 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-6-O-p-toly
