Chiral synthesis of a dithiolester analog of phosphatidylcholine as a substrate for the assay of phospholipase A2.

The synthesis of a dithiolester analog of phosphatidylcholine, 1,2-bis(heptanoylthio)-1,2-dideoxy-sn-glycerol-3-phosphocholine (thio PC), is described. Starting with 1-trityl-sn-glycerol (prepared from D-mannitol), tosylation followed by displacement with potassium methyl xanthate gave a trithiocarb...
