FTY720 is an immunosuppressant with a novel mode of action and is highly effective in animal models of transplantation and autoimmunity. Herein we describe the first asymmetric synthesis of chiral FTY720 analogues using the Sch?llkopf-protocol. We also describe a practical synthesis of the corresponding phosphates, which are essential tools for elucidation of FTY720's mechanism of action.
