Abstract

Abstract All sixteen stereoisomers of 3, 7, 11-trimethyl-2-tridecanol were synthesised in high stereoisomerical purities (> 95%), for use in the identification of the stereoisomers present in females of the pine sawfly Microdiprion pallipes (Fallén)(Hymenoptera: Diprionidae) as the precursor of the actual sex pheromone (which is the propionate), and also for investigation of the biological activities of the esters. The key step in the syntheses was the coupling of ...
