Characterization and synthesis of mono- and diphytanyl ethers of glycerol

The methanolyzed lipids of the extreme halophile, Halobacterium cutirubrum, were separated into glycerol diether and glycerol monoether fractions. The diether was shown by synthesis to be 2,3-di-O-(3′R,7′R,ll′R,15′-tetramethylhexadecyl)-sn-glycerol. The monoether fraction was separated by thin-layer...
