Abstract
Procedures have been developed for the synthesis of both enantiomeric forms of mixed fatty acid, saturated and polyunsaturated 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerols and 2,3-diacyl-sn-glycerols from D-mannitol as starting material. The following diacyl-sn-glycerols have been synthesized: 1-Stearoyl-2-linoleoyl-sn-glycerol, 1-stearoyl-2-linolenoyl-sn-glycerol, 2-linoleoyl-3-stearoyl-sn-glycerol and 2-linolenoyl-3-oleoyl-sn-glycerol. Their specific rotations, refractive indices, densities, solubilities, carbon and hydrogen analysis and iodine values have been reported.
