✦ Synopsis
A novel regioselective synthesis of D-erythro -sphingosine 1-phosphate and D-erythro -ceramide 1-phosphate is described. The synthesis is based upon (1) in situ oxidative phosphorylation of the primary hydroxyl group in N-Boc-D-erythro-sphingosine utilizing trimethyl phosphite and carbon tetrabromide in pyridine, (2) chemoselective deprotection of the 1-O-phosphate and/or 2-amino groups with trimethylsilyl bromide or chloride, and (3) introduction of the fatty acid moiety into sphingosine 1-phosphate dimethyl ester via base-catalyzed N-acylation.

## Abstract Readily available D‐__erythro__‐azidosphingosine is transformed into 3‐__O__‐silyl‐protected derivative 6. Reduction of the azido group afforded 3‐__O__‐silyl‐protected sphingosine 7 which was either converted into __N__‐Fmoc‐protected derivative 8 or via N‐acylation into ceramide deriv
## Abstract Flexible syntheses of sphingosine and ceramide were achieved by using D‐xylose as the chiral pool and a CuCN‐catalyzed allylic alkylation reaction of a dimesylate 8 for chain elongation with concomitant control of an __E__ configuration of the double bond.
