A practical synthesis has been developed for DPD (4,5-dihydroxypentane-2,3-dione), an unstable small molecule that is proposed to be the source of universal signaling agents for quorum sensing in bacteria. The synthesis allows preparation of isotopically labeled DPD and entDPD as well as detailed studies of spontaneous binding to borate to give the unusual borate complex 6, the signal for marine bacteria such as Vibrio harveyi.
