A concise synthesis of symbiorarnide, a marine-origin ceramide from a common starting material, methyl (+/-)-trans-2,3epoxyoctadecanoate, in a convergent manner was achieved. The key step is the direct lipase-catalyzed coupling reaction between methyl (2R,3E)-2-hydroxy-3-octadecenoate and non-protected (+/-)-erythro-dihydrosphingosine, giving natural (2S,3R,2 ' R)-symbioramide and its (2R,3S,2 ' R)-isomer in 38% and 37% yield, respectively. The optically active beta,gamma-unsaturated alpha-hydroxyester was prepared by Mg(ClO4)(2)-inediated isomerization of epoxide and the subsequent lipase PS-catalyzed kinetic resolution.
