Optically pure I-deoxy-D-xylulose, a key metabolite for feeding experiments in the methylerythritol phosphate pathway for isoprenoid biosynthesis, is conveniently synthesised from 1,2-O-isopropylidene-alpha -D-xylofuranose or from D-arabinose. This renders labelling with hydrogen isotopes possible. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
