An efficient and facile synthesis of phytosphingosine and dihydrosphingosine derivatives is described with less steps and in improved overall yield (66–72%) starting from commercially available tri‐ O ‐benzyl‐ D ‐galactal. The key steps include Wittig reaction, Mitsunobu transformation, reduction, and deprotection.
