N-Acyl migration in ceramides

Upon exposure of truncated ceramides, such as N-acetyl-sphingenine, and long-chain ceramides to moderate acidic conditions, three derivatives are formed. Two of them turned out to be O-acylated sphingenine, 1-O- and 3-O-acyl-sphingenine, and the other was identified as sphingenine. Truncated dihydro...
