Interaction of lithium alcoholates of 2,4-di-O-benzoates of paratose and abequose with tetrabenzyl pyrophosphate gave alpha-phosphates of the 3,6-dideoxyhexoses, further converted into the corresponding cytidine-5'-diphosphate derivatives. These synthetic nucleotides were shown to participate in the biosynthesis of the O-specific polysaccharides for

The chemical synthesis and biological activity of undecaprenyl pyrophosphate bacillosamine (Und-PP-Bac), an obligatory intermediate in the asparagine-linked glycosylation pathway of Campylobacter jejuni, are reported. The key transformation involves the coupling of bacillosamine phosphate and undecaprenyl phosphate. The synthetic Und-PP-Bac can
