An improved procedure for the preparation and purification of labeled fatty acids by malonic ester synthesis has been developed. This method uses the different hydrolysis rates of the monoalkylmalonic ester intermediate and its dialkylmalonic ester side p
Deuterated analogues of 4,8-dimethyldecanal, the aggregation pheromone of Tribolium castaneum: Synthesis and pheromonal activity

To elucidate the deuterium isotope effect (DIE) in pheromonal activity and to investigate the biosynthetic pathway of 4,8-dimethyldecanal (4,8-DMD; 1), the aggregation pheromone of the red flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum), deuterated analogues of 4,8-DMDs (2, 3, 4, and 5), were synthesized and their pheromonal activities were tested using a two-hole pitfall olfactometer. Although no apparent DIE was observed in their pheromonal activities, 4,8-DMD-1-d 1 (2) was less attractive than other analogues, which suggested that the bond distance between the formyl group of 1 and its receptor was critical in pheromone recognition by T. castaneum.
