Peptidoglycan (PG) is the core structural motif of the bacterial cell wall. Fragments released from the PG serve as fundamental recognition elements for the immune system. The structure of the PG, however, encompasses a variety of chemical modifications among different bacterial species. Here, the applicability of organic synthetic methods to address this chemical diversity is explored, and the synthesis of cross-linked PG fragments, carrying biologically relevant amino acid modifications and peptide cross-linkages, is presented using solution and solid phase approaches.

N-Methylimidazolium chloride is found to catalyze a coupling reaction between monophosphates and activated phosphorous-nitrogen intermediates such as a phosphorimidazolide and phosphoromorpholidate to form biologically important unsymmetrical pyrophosphat
