Abstract: A stereoselective approach toward 2-amino-1,3-propanediol 13 is described. This compound represents the key intermediate in the total stereoselective synthesis of (+)-myriocin 1, an inhibitor of serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT). Moreover, synthon 13 can be used for synthesis of mycriocin analogues. 2-amino-1,3-propanediol moiety is necessary for their biological activity.
