Recent studies have shown that 2 C ‐methyl‐ D ‐erythritol 2,4‐cyclodiphosphate can be formed from 2 C ‐methyl‐ D ‐erythritol 4‐phosphate by the consecutive action of IspD, IspE and IspF proteins in the non‐mevalonate pathway of isoprenoid biosynthesis. We describe here rapid one‐pot strategies for the enzyme‐assisted preparation of this compound from isotope‐labeled pyruvate and glucose that are optimized for the introduction of 13 C or 14 C and afford a wide variety of isotopomers in mmol quantity. The one‐pot reactions involving up to 10 forward reaction steps and up to 15 enzyme catalysts have an overall yield of 50 to 80% of purified product.
