Abstract
The syntheses of optically homogeneous sphingomyelin analogues, which possess CH2, NH, and S instead of the phosphate oxygen connecting the phosphocholine head group to the sphingosine backbone, were successfully achieved by employing the olefin cross- metathesis protocol between 1-pentadecene and the amino alcohol parts possessing the suitable building block or functional group for construction of the phosphocholine moiety. ...
