Abstract
Diphosphatidyltrehalose (diPT) is an immunogenic glycolipid, recently isolated from Salmonella Typhi. Despite rigorous structure elucidation, the sn-position of the acyl chains on the glycerol backbone had not been unequivocally established. A stereoselective synthesis of diPT and its regioisomer is reported herein. Using a hybrid MS3 approach combining collisional dissociation and ultraviolet photodissociation mass spectrometry for analysis of the regioisomers and natural diPT, the regiochemistry of the acyl chains of this abundant immunostimulatory glycolipid was established.
