A reinvestigation of the reactions leading to arsonolipids (2,3-diacyloxypropylarsonic acids) has been carried out in order to understand why the yields of their preparation were only moderate, although they are better than those reported for 2,3-diacyloxypropylphosphonic acid (phosphotidic acid). Thus, the reaction of glycidol and of 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol with alkaline sodium arsenite, “Na3AsO3”, gives the desired product, 2,3-dihydroxypropylarsonic acid, and ∼10% of an arsenic-containing glycerol dimer which is removed during the preparation of these arsonolipids. The step which is mainly responsible for the diminished yields is due to the reaction of the –As(SPh)2 or –AsO3H− precursor with the activated acid chlorides or carboxylic acid anhydrides to give an intermediate which cyclizes with the primary hydroxy group of the 2,3-dihydroxypropyl moiety. This cyclization does not allow the primary hydroxy group to be acylated. Such cyclization could not be avoided with RCOCl/py, (RCO)2O/DMAP, or RCOOH/DCC/DMAP acylating systems.
