Abstract
A general and flexible synthetic approach to biologically important 5,6-unsaturated C(18)-phytosphingosines was developed via olefin cross-metathesis employing truncated C(6)-phytosphingosines as the key intermediates. These were efficiently prepared in high yields by zinc-mediated reductive opening of methyl 2-amino-2-deoxy-beta-hexopyranosides. [structure: see text]Entities:
