A radio-labeled bioactive lipid A derivative was synthesized for the first time by 3H-labeling of a phosphonooxyethyl (PE) analogue. 3H-Labeling was effected via oxidation of the distal hydroxyl group of the ethylene glycol unit of a disaccharide intermediate and subsequent reduction of the resulting aldehyde by NaB3H4. Phosphorylation of the labeled alcohol and deprotection gave the target compound. The glycosidation of an ethylene glycol unit with a thioglycoside was promoted by PhIO-SnCl4-AgClO4 to give the α-glycoside selectively.
