title: An efficient synthesis of D-erythro- and D-threo-sphingosine from D-glucose: olefin cross-metathesis approach.
abstract: [reaction: see text] The D-erythro- and D-threo-sphingosine were synthesized via E-selective olefin cross-metathesis using a D-glucose-derived building block and long-chain terminal alkene.
