Abstract

(2__S__, 3__S__, 5__E__, 7__E__)‐ and (2__S__, 3__R__, 5__E__, 7__E__)‐2‐Amino‐5,7‐tetradecadien‐3‐ol [(S)‐1a and (S)‐1b], which were proposed as the structures of epimeric amino alcohols isolated from a marine sponge, and their two enantiomers were synthesized from (S)‐ and (R)‐alanine, respectively. The high‐field ^1^H‐NMR spectra of the diacetyl derivatives of 1a, b were identical with those of the derivatives of naturally occurring amino alcohols. However, the absolute configurations of the natural products were corrected as (2__R__) by comparing the optical rotations of natural products with those of the synthetic products.
