Four aminodeoxy analogs of globotriosylceramide (6 "-, 4 "-, 2 "'-, and 6'-
aminodeoxy) were synthesized by glycosylation of 3-O-benzoylated azidosphin
gosine with the corresponding aminodeoxy-globotriose trichloroacetimidate,
followed by reduction of the azido group: N-acylation with 1-adamantaneacet
ic acid, and removal of the protecting groups. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Lt
