Abstract

Previous attempts to directly prepare methyl esters from phosphatides failed apparently because not enough HCl was present as catalyst. In the present work suprarenal phosphatides were directly converted into esters by alcoholysis with methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl and amyl alcohols using 5.0% HCl and 7.5 and 12.0% H2SO4 as catalysts. The process of esterification is greatly simplified by this procedure.
