The pheromone 7(Z)-tetradecenal and its isomer 7(E)-tetradecenal were synthesized in four steps from commercially available starting materials.
Synthesis of carboxymethyl GLA-60 ether derivatives containing an olefin in their chains and their LPS-antagonistic activities

Anomeric carboxymethyl GLA-60 olefine derivatives having ether chains instead of ester chains in their side chains were synthesized and their biological activities toward both human U937 cells and mouse PEC-macrophage cells were measured. The species-specific behavior of these compounds in humans (LPS-antagonistic) and mice (very weak LPS-antagonistic, but almost inactive) found this time was different from that in humans (LPS-antagonistic) and mice (endotoxic) found in the biosynthetic precursor of lipid A, such as lipid IVa. However, this fact also shows, interestingly enough, that a difference exists in the molecular recognition between human and mouse LPS receptors.
(E4,Z9)-Tetradecadienal, a sex pheromone for three North American moth species in the genus Saturnia

The lepidopteran genus Saturnia has three representatives in North America, S. walterorum, S. mendocino, and S. albofasciata. (E4,Z9)-Tetradecadienal (E4,Z9-14:Aid) was identified as a sex pheromone component for all three species by combinations of coupled gas chromatography-electroantennogram detection (GC-EAD), GC-mass spectrometry (MS), and field trials. In field trials, all three species were strongly attracted to (E4,Z9-14:Ald) as a single component, Small amounts of (Z)-9-tetradecenal (Z9-14:Ald) also were found in extracts of all three species, but blends of this compound with E4,Z9-14:Aid were no more attractive to male moths than E4,Z9-14:Ald alone. Extracts of pheromone glands of female S. walterorum occasionally contained a third, trace compound eliciting responses from male antennae in GC-EAD experiments, but this compound was not identified. It is suggested that the three species can use the same, single component as a sex attractant because the flight period of S. albofasciata (fall) is different than that of the other two species (spring), whereas the geographic distributions of S. mendocino and S. walterorum overlap over only small portions of their ranges. Furthermore, the latter two species readily hybridize, so there may be minimal fitness cost to cross-attraction.
Vinylic Organoboranes. 4. A General, One-Pot Synthesis of 6- and 7-Alkyn-1-ols via Boracyclanes. Influence of Steric Effects in the Iodination of Lithium Alkynyl "Ate" Complexes of Dialkylborinates

The iodination of the "ate" complexes derived from various B-alkoxyborinane derivatives and 1-alkynyllithium has been investigated.The results indicate the ate complex from B-methoxyborinane is converted into desired 6-alkyn-1-ol in a yield of only 22percent, with much larger amounts, 65percent, of the undesired 1-iodo-1-alkyne.Increases in the steric bulk of the alkoxy group on boron increase the yield of the required 6-alkyn-1-ol with the best results realized with B-(triphenylmethoxy)borinane.Treatment of B-(triphenylmethoxy)borinane with 1-alkynyllithium affords the corresponding "ate" complex.Subsequent iodination induces the migration of one end of the cycloalkyl chain from boron to the adjacent carbon, resulting in the formation of the one-carbon homologated borepane moiety.This then undergoes a rapid deiodoboronation to afford the corresponding (6-alkyn-1-yl)boronate ester.Oxidation of these esters produces the desired 6-alkyn-1-ols in excellent yields (85percent).An attempt to extend this reaction to di-n-alkylborinates to prepare the corresponding unsymmetrical alkynes did not achieve satisfactory results.Alternatively, the iodination of the "ate" complex from B-methylborinane and 1-alkynyllithium, followed by oxidation, provides the required 6-alkyn-1-ols in high yields.This procedure has been successfully extended to the seven-membered borepane moiety to provide the corresponding 7-alkyn-1-ols.Extension of this reaction to the di-n-alkylmethylboranes provides the corresponding unsymmetrical alkynes in good yields.Thus, these procedures constitute a simple, general and one-pot synthesis of the desired alkyn-1-ols, valuable synthons in organic synthesis.Insect pheromones, (Z)-7-tetradecenaland (Z)-7-hexadecenal, were readily prepared in excellent yields by utilizing this convenient procedure.
