title: Synthesis of a novel lysophosphatidylcholine.
abstract: The novel lysophosphatidylcholine (1), which naturally occurs in the marine sponge Spirastrella abata and was reported to inhibit cholesterol biosynthesis in the Chang liver cell, has been synthesized in four steps from methyl cis-11-octadecenoate (2).
