Popis: Long-chain 1,2-alkanediols can be separated into their enantiomers by thin-layer chromatography of the bis-L-acetylmandelates. The method is also applicable to the separation of enantiomeric 1,3-alkanediols. Both 2-hydroxy fatty acids and 1,2-alkanediols derived from diester waxes of rat skin have the D-configuration. The D-enantiomer of 2DL-1,2-octadecanediol is preferentially utilized by myelinating rat brain in the formation of choline phospholipids having a 1,2-octadecanediol backbone. The D-configuration of the chiral center at carbon-2 of 2-acyl-1,2-alkanediol phosphocholine corresponds to the configuration at carbon-2 of 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine.
