Synthesis of a spin-labeled phospholipid for studying membrane dynamics in intact mammalian cells.

We report here the synthesis of a spin-labeled phospholipid, 1-palmitoyl-2-(4-doxylpentanoyl)glycerophosphocholine. The synthetic route for this probe involves two major steps: 1) the synthesis of 4-doxylpentanoic acid from ethyl levulinate and 2-amino-2-methyl propanol, and 2) the synthesis of the...
