PHEROMONE 511): SYNTHESE VON UNGESATTINGEN PHEROMONKETONEN AUS ORGYIA PSEUDOTSUGATA (DOUGLAS FIR TUSSOCK MOTH) UND CARPOSINA NIPONENSIS (PEACH FRUIT MOTH) (LEPIDOPTERA)

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)95044-5

The principal (9, 27) and minor (17, 28) sex pheromone components of both, the Douglas fir tussock moth (orgyia pseudotsugata) and the peach fruit moth (Carposina niponensis), have been synthesized in four steps each, using the chain-lengtheningdifunctionalisation of Grignard reagents by reaction with ketenylidenetriphenylphosphorane as the key step.
