[Synthesis of 1-(1-alkenyl)-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholines, the aldehyded analogs of platelet activating factor].

: 1-(1-Hexadecenyl)- and 1-(1-octadecenyl)-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholines were synthesized. To this goal, synthetically prepared racemic phosphatidal-cholines were hydrolyzed with phospholipase A2, and lysophosphatidal-cholines obtained were acetylated with acetic anhydride.
