Convenient synthesis of racemic mixed-chain ether glycerophosphocholines from fatty alkyl allyl ethers: useful analogs for biophysical studies.

Diether glycerophosphocholines containing one long and one short chain were synthesized in moderate yield. The synthesis of a diether glycerophosphocholine containing a branched chain and a straight chain is also described. Alkylation of fatty alcohol with allyl bromide and dimethyl sulfoxide anion...
