The preparation of sn-glycero-1-phosphocholine is described. 2,3-O-Isopropylidene-sn-glycerol is condensed first with the 1,2-dimethylethenylene phosphorochloridate in the presence of triethylamine to yield the cyclic phosphotriester derivative. Choline p-toluenesulfonate, as the second alcohol, is condensed with this intermediate to yield the phosphotriester
