✦ Synopsis
An efficient total synthesis of (+)-spisulosine (ES-285) was completed in nine steps from (S)-Garner's aldehyde. The vicinal amino alcohol moiety with anti-configuration was achieved by a highly diastereoselective addition of vinyl magnesium bromide to Garner's aldehyde. The long hydrocarbon chain of the antitumor natural product was installed via olefin cross metathesis of the benzyl-protected allylic alcohol with an appropriate olefin counterpart followed by hydrogenation.

## Abstract The asymmetric synthesis of (2__S__,3__R__)‐2‐amino‐3‐octanedecanol hydrochloride (ES‐285**·**HCl) was achieved in eight steps in ca. 38 % overall yield from the __N__‐benzylimine‐derived from (__R__)‐2,3‐__O__‐isopropylidene glyceraldehyde, which is easily available on gram scale from
