Synthesis of D/L-erythro-Sphingosine Using a Tethered Aminohydroxylation Reaction as the Key Step

Article abstract of DOI:10.1055/s-0028-1083367

A diastereoselective synthesis of racemic D/L-erythro- sphingosine is described. The approach involves employing tethered aminohydroxylation (TA) to introduce the 2-amino and 3- hydroxy functions with required stereochemistry. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.
