An efficient asymmetric synthesis of diacylglycerols.
A convenient preparation of 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol or 2,3-diacyl-sn-glycerol is described starting from allyl bromide. The latter was converted to allyl 4-methoxyphenyl ether, which is dihydroxylated using AD-mix as a catalyst to yield 3-O-(4‘-methoxyphenyl)-sn-glycerol or 1-O-(4‘-methoxyphenyl)-sn-...
