Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Ectyoceramide (<jats:bold>1a</jats:bold>), a unique monoglycosylceramide with a galactose in the furanose form, was isolated from <jats:italic>Ectyoplasia ferox</jats:italic>, and its structure was determined by NMR spectroscopy, multiple tandem mass spectrometry, and chemical degradation. Ectyoceramide is the first example of a monohexofuranosylceramide and, more generally, the first natural glycosphingolipid with its first sugar in the furanose form. (Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH &amp; Co.
