Abstract
 A short and efficient synthesis of (2S,3S)-safingol from commercially available D-ribo-(2S,3S,4R)-phytosphingosine is described. The highlights of the synthesis are a stereoselective one-pot transformation of a diol into an epoxide under phase transfer catalytic conditions and a regioselective epoxide-opening reduction with a hydride reagent.
