Abstract
With 2,6-Cl2 C6 H3 COCl and 1-methylimidazole, the title condensation completed at room temperature within 12 hours, which is shorter time than that with the standard DCC/DMAP system. Use of easily separable 1-methylimidazole from the crude product by chromatography is an additional advantage of the present reagent system.
Key words
carboxylic acids - condensation - esterification - furans - lipids

12 The racemic lyso-PC 1 was conveniently prepared from racemic glycidol in two steps according to the literature procedure:
[9 3 then [HO(CH2 )2 NMe3 ]+ ·TsO- ; (ii) C15 H31 CO2 Cs.

14 Due to the low solubility of lyso-PC 1 , THF was omitted in the preliminary study using 4 .
15 Reaction was carried out until 1 was consumed completely by 1 H NMR spectroscopy since separation of product 3a and remaining 1 by chromatography on silica gel by using a CH2 Cl2 -MeOH mixture as an eluent was quite difficult. TLC analysis was useless for monitoring the progress of reaction.
16 The R
f
values of compounds (Merck Silica gel 60 F254 , MeOH): 1 , 0.1-0.2; 2a -e , >0.8; 3a , 0.1-0.2; 3b , 0.1-0.2; 3c , 0.1-0.2; 3d , 0.2; 3e , 0.2; 3f , 0.2; DMAP, 0.1-0.15;
17 Chromatography of a reaction mixture on silica gel was conducted with CH2 Cl2 -MeOH (CH2 Cl2 only, then 5:1, finally 1:3). Excess 2a eluted very early, then DMAP, followed rapidly by product 3a, though DMAP was slightly more polar than 3a on TLC. Other by-product(s) derived from the acid chloride (or simply the hydrolyzed acid) did not interfere with the purification of 3a . In addition, CH2 Cl2 -MeOH is a convenient solvent system for chromatography in comparison with conventional CHCl3 -MeOH-H2 O because of fast elution during chromatography, easy evaporation of the eluent, and no contamination of silica gel impurity that is frequently encountered with the latter solvent system.
