title: Cerebroside analogues from 3-phenylserines.
abstract: Cerebroside analogues were synthesized from DL-threo-and DL-erythro-3-phenylserines by the following sequence of reactions: esterification, N-acylation, reduction with sodium bis (2-methoxyethoxy)-aluminum hydride (SMEAH), and condensation with acetobromoglucose followed by deacetylation. Mass spectrometry disclosed that the glycosidic bond was formed at the primary hydroxyl group.
