Synthesis of 1,5-Anhydro- 2-deoxy- 4-O-phosphono-3-O-tetradecanoyl-2-[(3R)- and (3S)-3-Tetradecanoyloxytetradecanamido]-D-glucitol (GLA-40) Related to Bacterial Lipid A

Abstract
The diastereoisomeric pair of a biologically active, lipid A-subunit analogs named in the title have been synthesized, starting from 2-amino-l,5-anhydro-2-deoxy-4,6-0-isopropylidene-D-glucitol and optically active 3-hydroxytetradecanoic acid.
