An efficient enantiospecific synthesis of D-erythro-sphingosine (1) via azidosphingosine (2) is described, the absolute stereochemistry being derived from D-tartaric acid.

Starting from D-tartrate 2, the chiral aldehyde 10 was prepared in 8 steps. Key steps include the reductive opening of the p-methoxybenzyl acetal 4 and the elongation of the aldehyde 7 via Wittig and hydroboration reaction providing the alcohol 9. Subsequent Evans aldol reaction provided compound 12 which corresponds to the C21-C26 part of the immunosuppressive FK506. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 1999.
