Bacteriohopanetetrol (2a) possess the C5 polyhydroxylated unit encountered in all major prokaryotic triterpenoids. 3 4 Until recently, the absolute configuration of the three asymmetric centers of this unit remained unknown. The chemical correlation of adenosylhopane (3) isolatedfrom the purple bacterium Rhodopseudomonas acidophila with bacteriohopanetetrol (2a) 4h supported a configuration in C-32, C-33, and C-34 similar to the one resulting from the attachment of a D-ribose through its terminal C-5 carbon atom to the hopane skeleton, ie 32fi, 33fi, and 34S.To establish the configuration of this important struc-tural feature of many hopanoids, we decided to prepare the eight different bacteriohopanetetrol side chain dia-stereomers. A direct condensation with a protected aldehydo-pentose has been employed in the synthesis of guggultetrols5 and in the elaboration of the tetra-hydroxypentane portion of methanopterin. 6 Wehave found that such a linkage to the hopane skeleton at C-30 was of limited value and could be advantageously replaced by a step-by-step construction outlined in Scheme II.
