Abstract
The first total synthesis of sphingolipid (2__S__,3__R__,4__E__)‐N^2^‐octadecanoyl‐4‐tetradecasphingenine (1a), a natural sphingolipid isolated from Bombycis Corpus 101A, and of its styryl analogue 1b was achieved in good overall yield (Schemes 1 and 2). The key step involved the installation with (E) stereoselectivity of a long lipophilic chain or phenyl group on allyl alcohol derivative 3 via a cross‐metathesis reaction (→5a or 5b). The N‐Boc protected 3 was easily accessible from (S)‐Garner aldehyde.
