title: Synthesis of β-C-galactosyl ceramide and its new aza variant via the Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction.
abstract: A simple strategy for the synthesis of β-C-galactosyl ceramide and its new aza-variant analogue is described using the Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction as the key step in combining the sugar and aglycone portions.
