✦ Synopsis

The bis phosphoric cslcrs of dimcthylallyl alcohol, isnpcntcnol, gcraniol, famesol and gcranylgeraniol have been prepared through the phosphitcs in order to evahiate their phase propcrtics in water. The sodium and calcium salts 01 the fit two are soluble in water; the others easily form closed vesicles. These could be reprcseotative of "'primitive" biomcmbrancs.

## Abstract We have postulated earlier that the highly branched isoprenoid alkanes, which are distributed widely in many sediments, may have been derived from the corresponding branched polyprenyl phosphates, potentially present in biomembranes in primitive organisms. These polyprenyl‐branched poly
