The use of a trans alpha,beta-epoxyaldehyde as a precursor Of D-ribo-phytosphingosines was studied. The highly stereoselective alkylation of the aldehyde with a diorganozinc reagent was ensured through double asymmetric induction. The regioselective opening of the epoxide in turn gives access to an azide from which a C-10 phytosphingosine can be easily prepared. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
