Synthesis of structured ether lipids and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids
Ether lipids of the 1-O-alkyl-2,3-diacyl-sn-glycerol type, made of pure saturated or monounsaturated 1-O-alkyl-sn¬-glycerols and long chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), are interesting compounds since their parts are thought of as biologically active. Twelve different types 1-O-alkyl-2,3...
