arabinosyltransferases that use decaprenolphosphoarabinose (3) as the donor species. In this paper, we describe the synthesis of a panel of C-phosphonate analogues of 3, which were designed to inhibit these arabinosyltransferases and thus block the biosynthesis of mycobacterial cell wall polysaccharides. A number of routes were explored for the preparation of the targets. The successful approach involved the
