Application

Tetrabenzyl pyrophosphate may be employed for the following studies:
  • Fabrication of Pb2+-selective membrane electrodes.
  • Preparation of synthetic nucleotides, phosphates of the 3,6-dideoxyhexoses.
  • As phosphorylating reagent for the synthesis of Und-PP-Bac (undecaprenyl pyrophosphate = Und-PP; Bac = unusual sugar bacillosamine).

Tetrabenzyl pyrophosphate and diphenylphosphinic anhydride, with two phosphoryl groups (PO) as ligating sites, can be used as novel ionophores to make Pb(2+)-selective membrane electrodes. A good result was obtained with tetrabenzyl pyrophosphate, and the electrode based on this ionophore and

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
