The pheromones (1a,1b) of two insect pests, the Japanese Beetle (Popillia japonica, Newman) and Cupreus Chafer Beetle (Anomala cuprea, Hope), were synthesized. Starting from protected D-Ribose, 1a was prepared in 8 steps with a 30% total yield. The same chemistry was demonstrated for the synthesis of 1b.
Method for manufacturing 4-substituted-Y-lactone and novel substance

An alkynyl group having a triple bond at the carbon atom at the 1-position is introduced to a carbon atom at the 1-position of 2,3-O-isopropylidene-D-ribofuranose. The diol part is then cleaved to obtain a lactol compound. This lactol compound is oxidized to obtain a lactone compound. The ketal part of the lactone compound is hydrolyzed and the compound is further subjected to a reduction reaction. The hydroxyl groups at the 2- and 3-positions are then eliminated, and the double bond between the 2- and 3-positions of the resultant compound is reduced to obtain a 4-substituted-γ-lactone.
