(Chemical Equation Presented) In this paper, a new synthetic route toward 6-hydroxysphingosine and α-hydroxy ceramide is described. The synthesis employs a cross-metathesis to unite a sphingosine head allylic alcohol with a long-chain fatty acid alkene that also bears an allylic alcohol group. To allow for a productive CM coupling, the sphingosine head allylic alcohol was protected with a cyclic carbonate moiety and a reactive CM catalyst system, consisting of Grubbs II catalyst and CuI, was employed.

When palmitic acid was incubated with crude enzyme of marine green alga Ulva pertusa, (R)-2-hydroperoxyhexadecanoic acid was formed in high enantiomeric purity (>99%ee).

A cerebroside fraction was obtained from the bruit bodies of fomitopsis pinicola using column chromatography and then separated into six compounds by reversed-phase HPLC.The sugar component of all cerebrosides was D-glucose.The major fatty acids were 2-hydroxyfatty acids (C14-C18), the long chain base was identified as 9-methyl-C18-4,8-sphingadienine which is widely distributed in fungi and reported to be essential for the fruit-inducing activity of fungi.Based on degradation studies, fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry, and different 1H and 13C NMR investigations, the structure of the main cerebroside (1) was determined to be (4E,8E,2S,3R,2'R)-N-2'-hydroxypalmityl-1-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-9-methyl-4,8-sphingadienine. - Keywords: Cerebroside; Glycolipid; Fomitopsis pinicola; 1H and 13C NMR
