The stereochemistry of glycerophospholipids (GPLs) has been of interest for its roles in the evolution of life and in their biological activity. However, because of their structural complexity, no convenient method to determine their configuration has been reported. In this work, through the first systematic application of vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy to various diacylated GPLs, we have revealed that their chirality can be assigned by the sign of a VCD exciton couplet generated by the interaction of two carbonyl groups. This paper also presents spectroscopic evidence for the stereochemistry of GPLs isolated from bacteria, eukaryotes, and mitochondria.

New asymmetric syntheses of phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns(3)P) and phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdIns(4)P) derivatives are described. Key intermediates were used to prepare diacylglyceryl moieties with dibutyryl, dioctanoyl, and dihexadecanoyl chains. In addition, a modified route provided PtdIns(3)P and PtdIns(4)P triesters with P-1-linked aminopropyl groups for preparation of affinity probes. The synthesis of the inosityl precursor employed a dibutyltin oxide-mediated p-methoxybenzyl (PMB) etherification to give either the 2-PMB- or the 3-PMB-protected glucopyranosides. The Ferrier rearrangement was used to convert suitably protected glucose derivatives to enantiomerically pure, differentially protected D-myo-inositol key intermediates. A versatile phosphoramidite reagent was employed to allow synthesis of PtdInsPn derivatives with diacylglyceryl moieties of different chain lengths.
