The synthesis of 7‐oxasphingosine ( 3 ) and 7‐oxaceramide ( 4 ) was improved by starting from the 4‐methoxybenzyl‐protected d‐ galactal 9 . The sphingosine analogues 5 – 7 and 24 were synthesized via the azido alcohol 13 . The 7‐thiasphingosine 5 is a poorer substrate for both isoforms of sphingosine kinase (SPHK) than sphingosine, but showed a slight preference for SPHK2. The sulfone 6 and the 7‐aza compounds 7 and 24 were not phosphorylated by either SPHK1 or SPHK2, and none of 5 – 7 and 24 activated invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cell clones when presented by human CD1d‐transfected antigen‐presenting cells (APC) or by plate‐bound human CD1d. Only 7 and 24 associated with plate‐bound recombinant CD1d prevented stimulation of iNKT cells by α ‐galactosylceramide ( α ‐GalCer).
