Synthesis and biological properties of the fluorescent ether lipid precursor 1-O-[9′-(1″-pyrenyl)]nonyl-sn-glycerol

The synthesis of an ω-pyrene-labeled 1-O-alkyl-sn-glycerol was performed using a chirospecific method starting from R-(−)-2,3-O-isopropylidene-sn-glycerol. The product, 1-O-[9′-(1″-pyrenyl)]nonyl-sn-glycerol (pAG), is a fluorescent ether lipid that has a pyrene moiety covalently attached at the alky...
