β¦ Synopsis
2-Azetidinones were smoothly transformed to unsaturated ketones through the ring opening of activated 2-azetidinone by phosphonate stabilized carbanion and subsequent Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination of the resulting b-ketophosphonates with aldehydes. A formal synthesis of L-erythro -sphingosine and D-lyxo -phytosphingosine from readily available 2-azetidinone was established utilizing this methodology.
