The synthesis of L-α-glyceryl-(2-phthalimidoethyl)phosphonic acid and of L-α-glyceryl-(2-aminoethyl)phosphonate, the latter a phosphonic acid analogue of L-α-glycerylphosphorylethanolamine and a possible intermediate in phosphonolipid metabolism, is described. The compounds were obtained by condensing D-acetone glycerol with (2-phthalimidoethyl)metaphosphonate in boiling benzene, and freeing the condensation product, viz. acetone L-α-glyceryl-(2-phthalimidoethyl)phosphonic acid, of its acetone group to obtain L-α-glyceryl-(2-phthalimidoethyl)phosphonic acid, or of its phthaloyl and acetone groups to give L-α-glyceryl-(2-aminoethyl)phosphonate.A procedure for the preparation of (2-phthalimidoethyl)metaphosphonate is reported.

The synthesis of a possible intermediate in phosphonolipid metabolism, viz. L-α-glyceryl-(2-trimethylammoniumethyl)phosphonate, a phosphonic acid analogue of L-α-glycerylphosphorylcholine, is described. The compound was obtained by condensation of D-acetone glycerol with (2-bromoethyl)metaphosphonate in boiling benzene, removal of the acetone group of the condensation product by acid hydrolysis, treatment of the hydrolysis product in dimethylformamide with trimethylamine at 60–62° for 3 days, isolation of L-α-glyceryl-(2-trimethylammoniumethyl)phosphate as cadmium chloride complex. Removal of the cadmium chloride was effected with a mixture of Amberlites IR-45 and IRC-50. A procedure for the preparation of (2-bromoethyl)metaphosphonate is reported.

The synthesis of glycerol-1,3-diphosphonic acid, the phosphonic acid analogue of the naturally occurring glycerol-1,3-diphosphoric acid, is described. The phosphonic acid analogue was obtained in an overall yield of 29.7%, by heating a mixture of 1,3-dibromo-2-hexadecanoyloxypropane and triethyl phosphite to 140° for 48 h, distilling off in vacuo the excess of triethyl phosphite, hydrolyzing the condensation product, 1,3-bis(diethylphosphono)-2-hexadecanoyloxypropane, with 2 N hydrobromic acid at 100° for 5 h, and isolating the glycerol-1,3-diphosphonic acid in form of the dibarium salt. The glycerol-1,3-diphosphonate differs from glycerol-1,3-diphosphate and other phosphate esters of glycerol and glyceric acid by its greater stability towards acid hydrolysis. The glycerol-1,3-diphosphonic acid is readily distinguished from glycerol-1,3-diphosphoric acid and glycerol-1,2-diphosphoric acid by paper chromatography.

A phosphonic acid analogue of platelet activating factor (PAF) bearing a backbone that is isosteric with and has stereochemistry corresponding to that of natural PAF has been synthesized. The synthesis uses a route maintaining stereochemical integrity.

A synthesis of the phosphonic acid analogues of L-α- and D-α-glycerophosphoric acid, viz. L- and D-dihydroxypropylphosphonic acid, is described. The L-dihydroxypropylphosphonic acid was obtained by treating acetone α-iodo-L-propylene glycol with triethyl phosphite at 120–125° for 24 h, hydrolyzing the condensation product acetone L-dihydroxypropylphosphonic acid diethyl ester with 2 N sulfuric acid at 100° for 48 h, and isolating the L-dihydroxypropylphosphonic acid as barium salt. The D-dihydroxypropylphosphonic acid was prepared in the same manner from acetone α-iodo-D-propylene glycol. The barium salts are readily soluble in cold water, much less soluble in hot water, and insoluble in the more common organic solvents. Dihydroxypropylphosphonic acid and α-glycerophosphoric acid can be distinguished from each other by their different behaviors towards hot mineral acids, and by the infrared spectra, n.m.r. spectra, and optical rotations of their barium salts.
