Based on 1,2-O-isopropylidene-sn-glycerol, which is readily available from d-mannitol, five chiral building blocks for the construction of structural variants of Staphylococcus aureus LTA designed and synthesized. Ligation of these building blocks led readily to the target molecules 1 and 2. They demonstrated that the d-alanine residues at the glycerophosphate backbone are decisive for the activation of the immune system.

Nature outfoxed! Owing to the sensitivity of lipoteichoic acids (LTAs) to hydrolysis their biological activity could not be ascertained thus far. The chemical synthesis of LTA of Staphylococcus aureus 1, which contains hydrolytically labile D-alanine resi
