D-erythro-Sphingosine (1) and phytosphingosine (2) have been efficiently synthesized from D-glucosamine by utilizing its whole carbon skeleton and functional groups. In this synthetic route, regioselective alkylation of the epoxy-tosylate 9 was achieved with a copper(I)-catalyzed Grignard reagent to give the key intermediate 10, which was converted to both 1 and 2 via regioselective formation of the iodohydrin 11.
Stereocontrolled synthesis of novel phytosphingosine-type glucosaminocerebrosides

D-ribo-Phytosphingosine 1 was conveniently synthesized from N-benzoyl- D-glucosamine 3 by an improved route in which regioselective O- methanesulfonation and diastereoselective Grignard addition are involved as key steps. Using a synthetic intermediate of 1, novel D-ribo- phytosphingosine-type glycolipids 2a and 2b, unnatural homologues of antifungal cerebrosides Halicylindrosides, were efficiently synthesized in a stereocontrolled manner.
