Abstract

© 2023 The Royal Society of Chemistry. A new benzyl-type protecting group (1,4-dimethoxynaphthalene-2-methyl, ‘DIMON’) for hydroxyl functions can be selectively removed under oxidative conditions without damaging polyunsaturated fatty acyl groups. Its application is shown by the first synthesis of an ether (plasmanyl) phospholipid containing the docosa-(4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z,16Z,19Z)-hexaenoyl group.
