Application

Palmitoyl chloride can be used:
  • To introduce carbon chain in glycosphingolipid galactosyl ceramide through stereoselective olefin cross-metathesis.
  • To prepare monoacyl and 1,3-symmetrical triacylglycerols via regioselective ring opening of an oxirane.

It can also be used in the total synthesis of:
  • Hericenone J and 5′ -deoxohericenone C (hericene A).
  • Seminolipid.
  • Mycobactin S and T equivalents having catechol-glycine group instead of phenol-oxazoline of the naturally occurring mycobactins.
