Abstract

... Chem., Vol. ... precursor 3 by a glycal epoxide constitutes a major simplification in ganglioside synthesis in that it avoids the need for a multistep installation of a directing group at c-2. BY Permuting the timing of sialylation and ceramide introduction, this chemistry could be ... J. Org. ...
