11-Phenoxyundecyl phosphate as a 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-α-d-glucopyranosyl phosphate acceptor in O-antigen repeating unit assembly of Salmonella arizonae O:59 ☆

Abstract A synthesis of 11-phenoxyundecyl phosphate and its biochemical transformation (using GlcNAc-P transferase from Salmonella arizonae O:59 membranes catalysing transfer of GlcNc-phosphate from UDP-GlcNAc on lipid-phosphate) into P 1 -11-phenoxyundecyl, P 2 -2-acetamido-2-deoxy-α- d -glucopyranosyl diphosphate are described.
