  • Patent number: 5734042
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a process for the production of asymmetrical phosphoric acid diesters.The process is characterized in that a phosphoric acid ester is condensed with a compound containing hydroxy groups in the presence of an arylsulfonic acid chloride and an organic base, the residue of evaporation is stirred out with an organic solvent after the hydrolysis, the arylsulfonic acid pyridine salt which forms is nearly completely crystallized and recycled, the lipid derivative that is formed is precipitated as a sparingly soluble salt by addition of a solution containing alkaline-earth ions and isolated, the sparingly soluble salt is isolated as the free acid in an organic solvent by suspension in a water-immiscible organic solvent and a dilute aqueous mineral acid, the crude product is purified if desired, by means of preparative chromatography on a RP phase and subsequently the free acid is converted if desired into any desired salt.
