Abstract dTDP–6–deoxy–4–keto–D–glucose (1), the common intermediate in the biosyntheses of the mainfold deoxysugars, was synthesized on a gram–scale by the combination of sucrose synthase and dTDP–D–glucose 4,6–dehydratase in a fed batch, starting the reaction with dTDP. This process allowed a dTDP conversion with a 100% rate. An easy and efficient three–step purification with anion–exchange chromatography and gel filtration gave 1.1 g of 1 in an overall yield of 73%. This work realizes a first step for an economic access to activated deoxysugars.
