Abstract

Series of benzoolysis experiments with 1,2-dipalmitoyl glycerophosphocholine (GPC), 1-palmitoyl-2-lyso GPC, and 1-O-hexadecenyl-2-oleoyl GPC, as well as a few experiments with 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl GPC and 1-O-hexadecyl-2-acetyl GPC are reported. The results are used to present a consistent picture of the various dephosphorylation and benzoylation reactions occurring in molten benzoic anhydride.
