Abstract

Stereoselective formal synthesis of xylo-(2S,3R,4R)-phytosphingosine and threo-(2S,3S)-sphingosine is described starting from an enantiopure formyl-substituted P-lactam. Grignard reaction of the N-Boc-protected-beta-lactam carbonyl group, followed by further transformations, provides a common intermediate for xylo-(2S,3R,4R)-phytosphingosine and threo-(2S,3S)-sphingosine.
