2-Hydroxymethyl-1, 4-dioxane 3 was resolved via salt formation between its hydrogen phthalate and (R)- or (S)-1-phenylethylamine, selective crystallization of the resultant diastereomeric mixtures and subsequent recovery of its enantiomers by saponification. The progress of the resolution was followed by chiral HPLC and the absolute stereochemistry of the two enantiomers determined by comparison of their specific rotations with that of (R)-3 synthesized from enantiomerically pure (R)-1-O-benzylglycerol. The results of the synthesis of 3 and of its resolution are discussed and compared with those previously obtained for 1,2-isopropylidene glycerol evaluating the consequences of replacement of ispropylidene with an ethylene bridge.

, (2008/06/13)
This invention relates to a novel family of phosphorylated polysiloxanes which are non-ionic and water soluble. When these polysiloxanes are dissolved in water, the resulting solutions exhibit low surface tensions. The invention also relates to phosphorylated polysiloxanes which are gels or hydrogels. The invention further contemplates methods of synthesizing the phosphorylated polysiloxanes.

The syntheses of each of the four nearly optically pure stereoisomers of oxy>phosphocholine (2,3,2',3') were performed by two parallel divergent sequences.Phosphocholines 2 and 3 were prepared via the corresponding 5-heptadecyl-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,4-dioxanes 21 and 23, respectively, from the completely regiospecific mixed-hydride reductions of (1R,4S,5S)-4-heptadecyl-3,6,8-trioxabicyclooctane (19) and (1R,4R,5S)-4-heptadecyl-3,6,8-trioxabicyclooctane (20), respectively.The two 4-heptadecyl-3,6,8-trioxabicyclooctanes 19 and 20 were the two separable products from an intramolecular cyclization reaction.By a parallel divergent sequence from the enantiomeric starting material, 3-O-benzyl-sn-glycerol (16'), the other two diastereomeric oxy>phosphocholines 2' and 3' were prepared.These four monocyclic oxy>phosphocholines (2,3,2',3') are conformationally constrained analogs of the antineoplastic and immunomodulatory ether lipid rac-2-O-methyl-1-O-octadecylglycero-3-phosphocholine (rac-1) (rac-ET-18-OCH3, rac-Edelfosine).
