An efficient approach to build the three contiguous stereogenic centers of sphingosine unit starting from cheap glutamic acid is described. The key step of this approach is the SmI2-mediated cross-coupling of chiral N-tert-butanesulfinyl imine 11 with sterically hindered aliphatic aldehyde 9 or 21 to construct hydroxymethyl β-amino alcohol 10 or 22 in high diastereoselectivity (>99%, de). The utility of this flexible method has been demonstrated in the synthesis of d-ribo-phytosphingosine 1, its two derivatives 18 and 29. Moreover, a practicable synthetic route for synthesis of various sphingolipids, ceramides, α-galactosylceramides and their derivatives is also described.
