A highly efficient two-step chemoenzymatic synthesis of enantiopure structured ether lipids of the 1-O-alkyl-2,3-diacyl-sn-glycerol type has been developed. Chimyl, batyl and selachyl alcohols possessing pure saturated fatty acid (SFA) attached to the sn-3 position and pure EPA and DHA attached to the sn-2 position were obtained under full regiocontrol. This was offered by mild conditions and a highly efficient lipase that operated at room temperature. High-resolution 1H NMR spectroscopy was used to monitor the progress of the reactions and to evaluate the full regiocontrol of the reactions involved by keeping track of all prospective adducts involved in these reactions. This was extended to preparation of a focused library of eight monoacyl intermediate adducts for all even-numbered SFA ranging from C2-C16 and the corresponding EPA and DHA structured diacyl glycerol ethers (DAGE) products for chimyl, batyl and selachyl alcohols, the total of 72 compounds.

The natural S-configured chimyl, batyl and selachyl alcohols of the 1-O-alkylglycerol type were prepared by enantioselective lipase-catalysed transesterification. Their racemates were synthesised in two steps by reacting racemic solketal with the bromides of the corresponding fatty alcohols and a subsequent conversion of the intermediates into the 1-O-alkylglycerols by deprotection under acidic aqueous conditions. The Pseudomonas fluorescens lipase was employed to kinetically resolve the racemic 1-O-alkylglycerols by a sequential diacetylation process to afford them virtually enantiomerically pure. Dramatic enantioselectivity increase was observed for the saturated chimyl (E = 17-32) and batyl (E = 14-38) alcohols at decreased temperature, whereas for the monounsaturated selachyl (E = 12-13) alcohol no such temperature effects were observed.

Pseudomonas sp. lipase was employed to resolve kinetically 1-O- alkylglycerols by a sequential diacylation process. Only low or moderate E- values were obtained, but at approximately 60% conversion enantiomerically pure monoacetates were obtained of the natural S-configuration for glyceryl ether lipids.
