Polyclonal catalytic antibody for hetero-cycloaddition of hepta-1,3-diene with ethyl glyoxylate an approach to the synthesis of 2-nonulosonic acid analogs

Polyclonal antibody raised from a product analogue for a Diels-Alder reaction has been found to catalyze the planned endo-cycloaddition between ethyl glyoxylate hydrate and diene. adduct of which would be useful for the synthesis of ulosonic acid and its analogs.
