Chemical synthesis are described of polyacylated β(1->6) glucosamine disaccharide 1,4'-bis(phosphate), which corresponds to the proposed structure of E. coli lipid A, and of its dephospho derivatives.The synthetic bisphosphate proved to be identical with

1-Dephospho E. coli lipid A (3) was synthesized and shown to be identical with the corresponding derivative isolated from bacterial cells. This provides the unequivocal evidence supporting the structure of E. coli lipid A (2) recently proposed by us.
