A. Boumendjel et Spf. Miller, SYNTHESIS OF TRITIUM-LABELED 2-VINYL DIHYDROSPHINGOSINE-1-PHOSPHATE, Journal of labelled compounds & radiopharmaceuticals, 36(3), 1995, pp. 243-249
The synthesis of [1,1,3-H-3]-2-vinyl dihydrosphingosine-1-phosphate is
described. The key step in this synthesis is the reduction of methyl
2-trifluoro acetamido-2-vinyl nonadecanoate-3-one by means of H-3-calc
ium diborohydride. This compound was synthesized to determine whether
2-vinyl dihydrosphingosine-1-phosphate inhibits the PLP-dependent sphi
ngosine-1-phosphate lyase irreversibly via covalent modification.
