Abstract

A general methodology for the synthesis of various types of dienic insect sex pheromones (ZE, EZ, ZZ) is based on the carbocupration of acetylene by functionalised or non- functionalised lithium dialkyl cuprates, followed by the coupling of the resulting Z dialkenyl cuprates with functionalised or non-functionalised E or Z alkenyl iodides under Pd° catalysis. The following compounds were efficiently synthesized with a high degree of ...
