A new synthesis of .omega.-hydroxy acids, which employs commercially available starting materials and lowers the cost of production. The process involves coupling a fatty acyl group by enamine chemistry, followed by a ring expansion and selective reduction of ketoacid.

acids can form hydrogen bonds. Consequently, we have designed ω-hydroxy fatty acid-containing glycolipid derivatives of the prototypical CD1d ligand α-GalCer. The potency of the ω-hydroxy analogues of the proper length is comparable to that of α-GalCer. We propose, based on the biological results and molecular modeling studies, that a hydrogen bonding interaction is involved between the ω-hydroxy group
