A sequential transformation based on the titanium‐mediated aldol addition of ( S )‐1‐bromo‐3‐( tert ‐butyldimethylsilyloxy)‐2‐butanone, a chiral lactate‐derived ketone, to tetradecanal followed by reduction of the ensuing aldolate afforded the corresponding syn ‐1,3‐diol as a single diastereomer. Debromination and further manipulation of this intermediate allowed the efficient synthesis of two enantiopure 1‐deoxy‐5‐hydroxysphingosines, which exhibit promising biological activity against a representative panel of human cancer lines.
