[4R-[4α(S*),5α]]-2,2-Dimethyl-4-(2-oxo-5-vinyl[1,3] dioxolan-4-yl)oxazolidine-3-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester 5a, obtained in excellent yield and diastereoselectivity by the α-hydroxyallylation of the Garner aldehyde (4), is exploited in a novel high-yield synthesis of D-ribo-phytosphingosine (8), using microwave-enhanced cross metathesis as the key step in the chain elongation.
