The Pummerer rearrengement product (8) derived from 4-chlorophenyl methyl sulphoxide (7) and trifluoroacetic anhydride undergoes an ene type reaction with terminal olefins to give the products (9).Oxidation of (9) followed by thermolysis of the resultant sulphoxides provides a general synthesis of the terminal conjugated dienes (10).Using this method, dodeca-9,11-dienyl acetate (16), the sex pheromone of the red bollworm moth, has been prepared.Transformations of the ene products (9) to some other insect sex pheromones such as bombykol (20) and tetradec-11-enyl acetate (24) are also described.
