Contents: The title compound has long been known as an essential component of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and capsular polysaccharides which exist in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. KDO has attracted additional attention as a consequence of some remarkable discoveries; i) mutants unable to produce KDO are non-viable.1 ii) KDO is not present in mammalian cells,2 iii) the 2-deoxy analog of β-KDO represents a new class of synthetic antimicrobial agent.3,4 Although syntheses of KDO have been reported by many groups,5-8 a more efficient synthetic method endowed with the potential for synthesis of not only complex glycoconjugates but also biologically significant analogs is required.
