A convenient sequence for the rapid synthesis of 2-desoxy-2-amino-3-phosphocholine-glycerinic-acid-alkylester, 1-alkyl-1-desoxy- and 1- O-alkyl-2-amino-2-desoxy-3-phospho- derivatives is described. Key steps are the reaction of 1-carbonyloxyalkyl-, 1-alkyl- or 1- O-alkyl-amino-alcohols with phosphorus oxychloride to 1-carbonyloxyalkyl-, 1-alkyl- or 4-substituted 2-chloro-2-oxo-1,3,2-oxazaphospholane followed by nucleophilic displacement with choline tosylate, 1-bromoethane-2-ol or Fmoc- l-serine-methylester and subsequent hydrolysis to 2-amino-lysophospholipids giving the desired compounds in yields ranging between 68% and 81%. Several 2-amino-lysophospholipid analogs can then be prepared by this synthetic scheme utilizing the same oxazaphospholane intermediate. A brief method for the preparation of 2-amino-3-hydroxy-propionic-acid-pentyl- and -octylester from l-serine is described, opening a facile access to chiral precursors of phospholipid analogs.
