Dephosphorylation and benzoylation reactions occurring in the benzoolysis of diacyl-, alkylacyl-, alk-1-enylacyl-, and acyl-lyso- glycerophosphocholines
WJ Gelsema and H van den Bosch

Series of benzoolysis experiments with 1,2-dipalmitoyl
glycerophosphocholine (GPC), 1-palmitoyl-2-lyso GPC, and 1-O-
hexadecenyl-2-oleoyl GPC, as well as a few experiments with 1-oleoyl-2-
acetyl GPC and 1-O-hexadecyl-2-acetyl GPC are reported. The results are
used to present a consistent picture of the various dephosphorylation and
benzoylation reactions occurring in molten benzoic anhydride.
