Abstract
Abstract A phosphoramidite approach using 2-cyanoethyl N,N-diisopropylchlorophosphoramidite was utilized for the first time to synthesize short chain cardiolipins. The approach was extended to synthesize long chain and their ether analogue. Optically active 1,2-di-O-acyl-sn-glycerol or 1,2-di-O-myristyl-sn-glycerol was coupled with phosphoramidite reagent and 2-benzyloxy-1,3-propanediol in presence of 1H-tetrazole, followed by in situ oxidation, to give the corresponding protected cardiolipin analogues. The above intermediates were converted into cardiolipin analogues in two steps by deprotection of cyanoethyl and benzyl groups.
