An efficient method of synthesizing fluorine-containing analogues of 1-lysoglycerophospholipids
(1-LPLs) by introducing a palmitoyl moiety starting from bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)phosphonoacetate
(Still–Gennari reagent) is described. The method effectively employs Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons
reagents as masked 1-LPL derivatives to prepare a series of analogues of 1-lysophosphatidic
acid (1-LPA), 1-lysophosphatidylethanolamine (1-LPE), and 1-lysophosphatidylcholine
(1-LPC).
