A synthesis of D-ribo-2-benzamido-1,3,4-trihydroxyoctadec-8-yne
Abstract
D-ribo-2-Benzamido-1,3,4-trihydroxyoctadec-8-yne, the acetylenic analogue of N-benzoyl dehydrophytosphingosine, has been synthesised from D-glucosamine. A convenient method for the preparation of long-chain alk-1-ynes is also described.
