Reaktionsschritte

To a stirred suspension of NaH (80%; 0.55 g, 17.4 mmol, 2 equiv) in THF (20 ml) was added dropwise a solution of (R)-glycerol acetonide 1 (1.15 g; 1 equiv) in THF (20 ml). After that octadecyl bromide (5.8 g, 17.4 mmol, 2 equiv) dissolved in THF (25 ml) was added dropwise and the mixture obtained was stirred overnight at 80° C. The reaction mixture was cooled to 0° C. and water was added. The resulting mixture was concentrated and the residue was extracted with water and diethyl ether and the combined extracts were dried (MgSO4). The crude product obtained was further purified by flash column chromatography (10% ethyl acetate-n-hexane) to yield the title compound 1b (2.03 g, 5.28 mmol, 61%).
