Abstract

This article focuses on the synthesis and the biological activities of long chain amino alcohols. The methods for the synthesis of these sphingosine analogues from various starting materials such as lipidic amino acids, serine, glyceraldehydes, long chain 1,2-diols, are summarized in the first part of the review, followed by a discussion of the biological activities of long chain amino alcohols and the applications for the synthesis of other bioactive compounds.
