V. Derivatives of dihydric alcohols and new types of neutral lipid

  • Published:
Chemistry of Natural Compounds Aims and scope

Summary

1. Two new types of neutral lipid have been found in the fats of animals, plants, and microorganisms: diacyl derivatives of various dihydric alcohols and monacyl derivatives of their 1-alkenyl derivatives (“diol plasmalogens”).

2. Of the diols contained in the neutral lipids of corn seed, soil yeast (Lipomyces sp. No. 40), and rat liver, the following have been identified: ethylene glycol, propane-1, 2-diol, propane-1, 3-diol, butane-1, 3-diol, and butane-1, 4-diol.
