Participants

Reaction Steps

1,2-O-Dioleyl-3-O-tritylglycerol (6.10 g, 7.3 mmol) was reacted with 5% trichloroacetic acid/methylene chloride (50 ml, w/v) at ambient temperature for 1 hour. The organic layer was then washed with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and water, dried, and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel/chloroform) to provide 3.75 g (87%) of the title compound.
