(2R,6S,10S)-6,10,14-Trimethylpentadecan-2-ol , one of the stereoisomers of the sex pheromone of Corcyra cephalonica Stainton, was synthesized in highly optically pure form by the hydrolysis of the 2,2,2-trichloroethyl carbonate of (2RS,6S,

The synthesis of four stereoisomers of the female-produced sex pheromone of the rice moth (Corcyra cephalonica) was achieved by starting from (R)-2a, (R)- or (S)-3a, and (R)- or (S)-4 and using alkylation of alkyl phenyl sulfones as the coupling reaction.Behavioral bioassy of each isomer revealed (2R,6R,10R)-1a to be eight times more active than a diastereomeric mixture of equal amounts of the eight possible stereoisomers, indicating that (2R,6R,10R)-1a is probably the natural pheromone or at least themajor component of the female blend.Electrophysiological bioassy also confirmed the high activity of (2R,6R,10R)-1a.
