Mycobacteria biosynthesize a cell wall structure that is rich in polysaccharides containing arabinofuranose residues. The source of these arabinofuranose residues is decaprenolphosphoarabinose (1), the donor substrate for mycobacterial arabinosyltransferases. We have previously demonstrated that an analog of 1, C-phosphonate 7
