title: A new approach to phospholipid synthesis using tetrahydropyranyl glycerol: rapid access to phosphatidic acid and phosphatidylcholine, including mixed-chain glycerophospholipid derivatives.
abstract: A new synthesis of phosphatidic acid and phosphatidylcholine is reported, relying on the preparation of 3-tetrahydropyranyl-sn-glycerol as the key intermediate for sequential introduction of the primary and secondary acyl functions to produce chiral diglycerides that are phosphorylated to obtain the target phospholipid compounds.
