Abstract
A stereoselective synthesis of a ceramide sphingolipid as a potential sex pheromone of the hair crab Erimacrus isenbeckii is reported using diastereoselective alkylation and aldol reactions of butane-2,3-diacetal (BDA) desymmetrised glycolic acid building blocks as the key synthetic steps. © Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.
