Abstract
Six deuterium labelled N-acylcysteamine polyketide derivatives (3) - (8) have been prepared as putative precursors for incorporation in studies of the biosynthesis of the ionophore antibiotic tetronasin (1). The route to these compounds was designed to be flexible and to maximise the use of common synthetic fragments.
