Abstract

Erythro and threo-1, 3-dihydroxy-2-amino-eicosane have been obtained by addition of nitroethanol to octadecanal and subsequent reduction of both erythro and threo-nitrodiols. Resolution with l-glutamic acid gave four optically active forms of the base. The d- configuration has been assigned to the+-erythro-isomer.
