Ac1PIM1 is a potential biosynthetic intermediate for phosphatidylinositol mannosides (PIMs) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We achieved the first synthesis of Ac1PIM1 by utilizing an allyl-type protecting group strategy and regioselective phosphorylation of inositol. A very potent agonist of an innate immune receptor DCAR, which is better than previously known agonists, is demonstrated.
