A Facile Stereoselective Synthesis of Sphingosine and Ceramide

Abstract
Flexible syntheses of sphingosine and ceramide were achieved by using D‐xylose as the chiral pool and a CuCN‐catalyzed allylic alkylation reaction of a dimesylate 8 for chain elongation with concomitant control of an E configuration of the double bond.
