• A simple, efficient and stereoselective synthesis of KDG isopropyl ester.
• Synthesis of KDG isopropyl ester via controlled epimerization and a two-step reaction sequence.
• KDG isopropyl ester specifically promotes growth of ammonium producing bacterial strains.
2-Keto-3-deoxy-D-erythro-hexonic acid (KDG) is the key intermediate metabolite of the Entner Doudoroff (ED) pathway. A simple, efficient and stereoselective synthesis of KDG isopropyl ester is described in five steps from 2,3-O-isopropylidene-D-threitol with an overall yield of 47%. KDG isopropyl ester is studied as an attractive marker of a functional Entner Doudoroff pathway. KDG isopropyl ester is used to promote growth of ammonium producing bacterial strains, showing interesting features in the remediation of heavy-metal polluted soils.
