Both the enantiomers of rhynchophorol , the male-produced aggregation pheromone of the American palm weevil (Rhynchophorus palmarum), have been synthesized by reducing their precursors, (R)- and (S)-6-methyl-2-heptyn-4-ol (2), which have been prepared by lipase-mediated asymmetric hydrolysis of the corresponding acetate and propionate.Key Words: American palm weevil / Lipases / Pheromones / Rhynchophorol Rhynchophorus palmarum / Enzymes
