Titanium-assisted nucleophilic opening of (S)-glycidol (2) with stearic acid gives (S)-(+)-1-stearoyl-sn-glycerol (3). Silylation of 3 with tert-butyldimethylchlorosilane can be done to selectively form (R)-(+)-1-stearoyl-3-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-sn-glycerol (4). Esterification of 4 with (S)-(+)-.alpha.-methoxy-.alpha.(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetyl chloride gives a "Mosher ester" (5) whose high-field NMR spectrum is suitable for determination of enantiomeric excess. Esterification of 4 with stearoyl chloride followed by removal of the silyl protecting group gives the diacylglyceride, (S)-(-)-1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycerol (7). The silyl group may be removed without acyl migration by the use of N-bromosuccinimide/DMSO/THF/H2O for the hydrolysis. Literature methods may be used to complete the assembly of the phosphorylcholine head group. This short synthetic route offers a new entry to the synthesis of optically active phospholipids and mono-, di-, and triacylglycerides.
