โฆ Synopsis
D-erythro-Sphingosine (1) and D-erythro -2-azidosphingosine (2) are both prepared from commercially available and cheap D-ribo -phytosphingosine (3) in a yield of 58% and 70%, respectively. A key transformation in the synthesis of D-erythro -sphingosine (1) is the palladium catalyzed regiospecific reduction of the Z-enol triflate 9. A crucial step in the synthesis of azidosphingosine 2 comprises a regio-and stereoselective in situ trans-elimination of the 4-O-triflate of azidophytosphingosine 13.

AbstracL Deryrhro-Sphingosine (1) and phytosphingosine (2) have been efficiently synthesized from D-glucosamine by utilizing its whole carbon skeleton and functional groups. In this synthetic route, regioselective alkylation of the epoxy-tosylate 9 was achieved with a copper(I)-catalyzed Grignard re
