Abstract

All four of the possible stereoisomers of 5, 9-dimethylheptadecane, the major sex pheromone component secreted by female moths of the mountain-ash bentwing (Leucoptera scitella), were synthesized by the coupling of two chiral blocks with a methyl branch at the 2-or 3-position. The blocks were prepared by applying the stereospecific inversion of secondary tosylates, which were derived from (R)-and (S)-propylene oxide, ...
