Summary Polymerizable glycerophosphocholines containing one or two 2,4-hexadienyloxy groups at the terminal of the acyl chains were prepared. Those were 1-[11-(2,4-hexadienyloxy)undecanoyl]-2-0-alkyl-rac-glycero-3-phosphocholines 1, 1-acyl-2-[11-(2,4-hexadienyloxy)undecanoyl]-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholines 2 and 1,2-bis[11-(2,4-hexadienyloxy)undecanoyl]-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine 3. Those having one hexadienyloxy group formed small unilamellar vesicles. One having two groups formed lipid bilayers, but not unilamellar vesicles. 1 and 2 could form stable microcapsules (polymerized vesicles) with the diameters ranging from 20 to 40 nm.
