N. Baba et al., SHORT-ROUTE SYNTHESIS OF A GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPID BEARING AN UNSATURATEDACYL GROUP AT THE SN-1 POSITION, Bioscience, biotechnology, and biochemistry, 59(2), 1995, pp. 353-354
A short-route synthesis of an optically active phosphocholine bearing
an unsaturated acyl group at the sn-1 position was developed via lipas
e-catalyzed enantioselective acylation of 2-O-methoxyethoxymethylglyce
rol, removal of the MEM group by employing catechol boron bromide, sub
sequent DCC-mediated acylation of the hydroxy group at the 2-position
and final introduction of a choline phasphate moiety.
