Abstract

In this study, we explored a convenient and concise route for synthesis of D-erythro-sphingosine 1 from commercially available and cheap L-serine. The key steps are simple preparation of amino ketone 5 from Weinreb amide 3 and high diastereoselective reduction of amino ketone 5 to give the natural erythro-(anti-) isomer.
