Concise synthesis of a racemic and diastereomeric mixture of the sex pheromones of Matsucoccus pine scales

Article abstract of DOI:10.1271/bbb.61.127

A short (3-5 steps) synthesis of a racemic and diastereomeric mixture of Matsucoccus sex pheromones (1-3) is described. The key reaction is Lewis acid-mediated cyanation of symmetric tertiary alcohol 6 to afford common intermediate 7.
