An efficient synthesis of N-(17S-hydroxylinolenoyl)-L-glutamine (volicitin), a chemical elicitor from the herbivore-pest beet armyworm is presented. The synthesis, which utilizes a copper-catalyzed acetylene coupling, links (S)-3,6-heptadiyne-2-ol with a C-8 propargylic iodine methyl ester to form the (S)-17-hydroxylinolenate skeleton. By substituting different heptadiyne-2-ol groups, a series of methylene interrupted polyacetylene analogues were generated.
Synthesis of volicitin: A novel three-component Wittig approach to chiral 17-hydroxylinolenic acid

A short stereoselective synthesis of both enantiomers of N-(17-hydroxylinolenoyl)-L-glutamine (volicitin) 12, an elicitor of plant volatile biosynthesis from beet armyworm salivary secretion, is described; the protected 17-hydroxylinolenic acid 4 moiety o
