Pheromone synthesis. Part 249: Syntheses of methyl (R,E)-2,4,5- tetradecatrienoate and methyl (2E,4Z)-2,4-decadienoate, the pheromone components of the male dried bean beetle, Acanthoscelides obtectus (Say)

The enantiomers of methyl (E)-2,4,5-tetradecatrienoate (1), a component of the male pheromone of Acanthoscelides obtectus, were synthesized from the enantiomers of 1-undecyn-3-ol (6), which were obtained via asymmetric acetylation of (±)-1-trimethylsilyl-1-undecyn-3-ol (4) with vinyl acetate as catalyzed by lipase PS (Amano). The ortho ester Claisen rearrangement of 6 with triethyl orthoacetate was the key-step to generate the chiral allenic system. A new synthesis of (±)-1 was also executed starting from (±)-6. Three different syntheses of methyl (2E,4Z)-2,4-decadienoate (2), another component of the male pheromone of A. obtectus, were achieved by means of either palladium-catalyzed Heck reaction or a Claisen and an Al 2O3 catalyzed thermal rearrangements.

Methyl (2E,4Z)-2,4-decadienoate (1), an important pheromone component of Pityogenes calcographus, and its three geometrical isomers (2-4) have been synthesized and obtained in >99percent isomeric purity.Urea inclusion complexes were used in the final purification procedures.Spectroscopic data (MS, (1)H and (13)C NMR) of all four isomers are discussed.A photoisomerization study of the decadienoates is presented.
Stereoselective Synthesis of (2E,4E)- and (2Z,4E)-2,4-Alkadienoates by the Ester Enolate Claisen Rearrangement of (E)-1-Alkyl-3-trimethylsilyl-2-propenyl Glycolates Followed by the Peterson Reaction

The ester enolate Claisen rearrangement of (E)-1-alkyl-3-trimethylsilyl-2-propenyl glycolates gave (E)-erythro-2-hydroxy-3-trimethylsilyl-4-alkenoates with high diastereoselectivity, which were stereoselectively converted into (2E,4E)- and (2Z,4E)-2,4-alkadienoates by the Peterson reaction.
