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.
