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 Salmonella typhimurium and S. nitra.
