Synthesis of ceramides using N-hydroxysuccinimide esters.

J. Lipid Res. 13(6) , 819-22, (1972)

Fatty acyl esters of N-hydroxysuccinimide have been used to directly N-acylate sphingenine or sphinganine, forming the corresponding ceramides. The reaction proceeds in excellent yield (84-96%) from small amounts of starting material (10-20 mg). The product c...
