An Efficient Stereocontrolled Route to Both Enantiomers of Platelet Activating Factor and Analogues with Long-Chain Esters at C2: Saturated and Unsaturated Ether Glycerolipids by Opening of Glycidyl Arenesulfonates

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00280a035

Both enantiomers of various ether/ester glycerophospholines (R)- and (S)-1, including platelet activating factor (PAF, 2), have been synthesized from arenesulfonate derivatives of glycidol ((R)- and (S)-3) that are readily available in high enantiomeric p
