The enantioselective synthesis of C₁₈-sphingosines

Biocatalytic conversion of chlorobenzene to the corresponding homochiral cyclohexadiene cis-diol (113) allows, through careful symmetry-based planning, the stereodivergent synthesis of all sphingosine stereoisomers. This was achieved via the selective preparation of the appropriate diastereomer of a...
