Abstract

Three pheromones,(6Z, 11Z)-hexadeca-6, 11-dien-1-yl acetate (from Eudia pavonia),(5Z, 9Z)-heptacosa-5, 9-diene (from Drosophila melanogaster) and gossyplure, have been synthesized each by two consecutive consequences of nickel-assisted Grignard reactions with cyclic enol ethers and preparation of Grignard reagents from the resultant alcohols.
