The stereoselective synthesis of (10R,14R)-10,14-dimethyloctadec-1-ene (1), (5R,9R)-5,9-dimethyloctadecane (2), and (5R,9R)-5,9-dimethylheptadecane (3) the sex pheromone components of female apple leafminer was accomplished by reductive elimination tosyl and isonitrile groups of dialkylated tosylmethyl isonitrile. The key steps involved were dialkylation of TosMIC with 1-iodo 2-methyl alkanes, which were derived from Evan's alkylation of chiral auxiliary and subsequent reduction.
