Abstract
The labelling patterns resulting from incorporations of [1-13C]- and [2-13C]-acetate into a novel carbocyclic pentofuranose analogue linked via an ether bond to bacteriohopanetetrol in several bacteria were consistent with a reaction sequence starting from a 2-ketohexose and identical with those involved in the conversion of D-glucose into myo-inositol.Keywords
