title: Synthesis of (2S,2'R,3S,4R)-2-(2'-hydroxy-21'-methyidocosanoylamino)-1,3,4-pentadecanetriol, the ceramide sex pheromone of the female hair crab, Erimacrus isenbeckii.
abstract: The ceramide sex pheromone [(2S,2'R,3S,4R)-2-(2'-hydroxy-21-methyldocosanoylamino)-1,3,4-pentadecanetriol (1)] of the female hair crab (Erimacrus isenbeckii) was synthesized by starting from (S)-serine and 12-bromo-1-dodecanol.
