A novel approach to structure proof of glyceryl ether-containing glycerophospholipids. Base-catalyzed methanolysis of platelet-activating factor (AGEPC) at 60 degrees C

A novel reaction was explored in which synthetic platelet-activating factor, 1-O-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (AGEPC), upon treatment with 1 N NaOH in methanol at 60 degrees C for 20 min, sequentially released the acetyl group, then the choline moiety with concomitant formation of the...
