The (S)-1-O-alkyl type glycerol selachyl alcohol was synthesized from enantiopure (R)-solketal in a known ether synthesis reaction, followed by deprotection of the isopropyliden moiety.
(S)-1-O-alkýl glýserólið, selakýl alkóhól, var myndað úr hreinu (R)-sólketali með þekktri etersmíði og afverndun ísóprópýliden hlutans af sólketali.
