Abstract

Abstract Females of some lepidopteran species produce novel sex pheromones with a methyl-branched structure, such as 2-methylpent-3-yl 3, 13-dimethylpentadecanoate secreted by the bagworm moth Clania variegate. Recently, we have established a simple preparative method for the synthesis of methyl-branched building blocks by utilizing an SN 2 reaction of chiral secondary tosylates derived from (S)-and (R)-propylene oxides. The ...
