44. Conversion of phytosphingosine 2 into diol 5 has been performed on multigram scale (226 g starting material 2) without column Chromatographic purification. This seven-step one-pot event was performed with minor adjustments of the here-described method in an overall yield of 58% and high chemical purity.

61. With slight modifications of the here-described procedure, p-toluenesulfonyl derivative 13 can be transformed into sphingosine 1 on a multigram scale (65 g starting material of 13) via a one-pot six-step methodology in high overall yield (60%), requiring only singly column chromatography purification step.
