(5R,6S)-6-Acetoxy-5-hexadecanolide (MOP) is the oviposition pheromone of the mosquito Cx. quinquefasciatus, a vector of pathogens causing a variety of tropical diseases. We describe and evaluate herein three syntheses of MOP starting from mannitol-derived

A convergent total synthesis of the Annonaceous acetogenin squamostolide, in a longest linear sequence of nine steps from d-mannitol, is reported. Central to the efficiency of the synthesis is a highly selective tandem ring-closing/cross metathesis step in which lactone formation and fragment coupling are accomplished.
