Abstract ( S )‐Nonacosan‐10‐ol [( + )‐Ginnol] is the main component of the tubular wax aggregates, which are found on many plant leaves. To investigate the role of this lipid for the formation of super hydrophobic self‐cleaning plant surfaces, both enantiomers of the title compound were prepared in six steps. Key steps are the resolution of the allylation product of decanal with ( R )‐ O ‐methylmandelic acid, and a chain elongation by cross metathesis. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
