Abstract
An enantioconvergent synthesis of the aggregation pheromones (R)-and (S)-sulcatol (6- methyl-5-hepten-2-ol) is described. Key steps in the deracemization strategy are sequential combinations of enzymatic resolutions and Mitsunobu inversions. Racemization-free Mitsunobu transformations have been carried out within 5 min by microwave irradiation, providing the desired sulcatyl acetates with clean inversion of chirality.
