Palmitoyl Chloride was used as a polymeric carriers for plasmid DNA (pDNA) delivery to 293T cells. Also used to introduce carbon chain in glycosphingolipid galactosyl ceramide through stereoselective olefin cross-metathesis; to prepare monoacyl and 1,3-symmetrical triacylglycerols via regioselective ring opening of an oxirane. It can also be used in the total synthesis of
Hericenone J and 5′ -deoxohericenone C (hericene A). Seminolipid. Mycobactin S and T equivalents having catechol-glycine group instead of phenol-oxazoline of the naturally occurring mycobactins.
