Males of the parasitoid wasp Urolepis rufipes use 2,6-dimethyl-7-octene-1,6-diol as a sex pheromone to attract virgin females. Herein, we determine the absolute configuration of the pheromone to be (2S,6S)-2,6-dimethyl-7-octene-1,6-diol (2S,6S-6) and present a stereoselective synthesis of the natural enantiomer of this new linalool derivative. In addition, we show that female wasps respond to the natural 2S,6S-6 stereoisomer while 2R,6S-6 is behaviorally inactive.
Enyne metathesis approach towards the cyclopentane motif of jatrophane diterpenes

A short and efficient synthesis of the cyclopentane moiety of the jatrophane diterpene Pl-3 has been developed. The route features an enyne metathesis reaction, and a stereoselective palladium-catalyzed reductive epoxide opening as key steps. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart New York.
General synthesis of highly functionalized cyclopentane segments for the preparation of jatrophane diterpenes
Lentsch, Christoph,Rinner, Uwe
supporting information; experimental part, p. 5326 - 5328 (2010/02/28)
Short and efficient syntheses of two diastereomeric cyclopentane segments present in most jatrophane diterpenes were achieved. Key steps are a stereoselective C-2 elongation, an RCM, and a hydroboration reaction. An orthogonal protecting group methodology
