Abstract

A modular synthesis was developed to access petrobactin, a catechol-containing siderophore isolated from Marinobacter hydrocarbonoclasticus. A range of petrobactin homologues with differing dihydroxybenzamide motifs and in one case an increased number of carbons in the polyamine backbone were also synthesized. As such, these systems represent new isomeric probes to study iron transport properties in M. ...
