Abstract
A diastereoselective synthesis of racemic d/l-erythro-sphingosine is described. The approach involves employing tethered aminohydroxylation (TA) to introduce the 2-amino and 3-hydroxy functions with required stereochemistry.
Key words
sphingolipids - sphingosine - ceramide - amino alcohols - diasteroselectivity
