2-Hydroxymethyl-2-propyl-1,3-propanediol in the Synthesis of Phospholipids

New representatives of nonglycerol polyol phospholipids were synthesized from 2-hydroxymethyl-2-propyl-1,3-propanediol through intermediate phosphoramidites and cyclic phosphites obtained from isopropylidene derivative of the title triol. Treatment of these intermediate products with sulfur or selenium afforded the corresponding thio- and selenophosphates which were converted into lipids by direct acylation with higher carboxylic acid chlorides.__________Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 41, No. 7, 2005, pp. 983–987.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Savin, Kamneva.
