Abstract
L-[alpha]-(Dihexanoyl)cephalin has been synthesized by the phosphor-ylation of D-[alpha], [beta]-dihexanolglycerol with phenylphosphoryl dichloride and pyridine, esterification of the reaction product, dihexanoyl-L-[alpha] -glycerylphenylphosphoryl chloride, with N-carbobenzoyethanolamine, and simultaneous removal of the protective groups of dlhexanoyl-L-[alpha] -glycerylphenylphosphoryl -N-carbobenzoxyethanolamine by catalytic hydrogenolysis. The L-[alpha]-(dihexanoyl)cephalin is soluble in water. Infrared evidence supports the inner-salt structure of cephalins in chloroform solution.
