Abstract
In this study, we report the first synthesis of an alkyne-based trehalose monomycolate probe containing a β-hydroxylated fatty acid and an α-branched chain similar to those of the natural mycolic acid. We demonstrate its utility for the labeling of the mycomembrane of Corynebacteria as well as for the study of mycoloyltransferases.
