Total synthesis of stereospecific sphingosine and ceramide

A small-scale synthesis of the four sphingosine stereoisomers (D-erythro, L-erythro, D-threo, and L-threo) and lignoceroyl D- and L-erythro-sphingosines, which is suitable for synthesis of tritium-labeled compounds, is described. Ethyl DL-erythro-2-acetamino-3-hydroxy-4t-octadecenoate was esterified...
