Titanium(II)-based Z-reduction of alkynes: Stereo- and regio-specific Z-dideuteriation of conjugated and methylene-skipped ynes

The major sex attractant released by Scrobipalpuloides absoluta, a devastating tomato pest, was identified as (3E,8Z,11Z)-3,8,11-tetradecatrienyl acetate by a novel strategy involving the random reduction of double bonds. The technique is applicable to double bond localization of polyunsaturated compounds available even in nanogram quantities. The triene ester was synthesized by a stereospecific procedure and shown to be highly attractive to conspecific males and identical to the natural substance.

Preparation of stereochemically pure E- and Z-alkenoic acids and their methyl esters from bicyclo[n.1.0]alkan-1-ols. Application in the synthesis of insect pheromones

Oxidative cleavage of exo- and endo-alkyl- and hydroxyalkyl-substituted bicyclo[n.1.0]alkan-1-ols with (diacetoxy-λ3-iodanyl)benzene gave the corresponding methyl alkenoates exclusively with E or Z configuration of the double bond. This reaction was used as the key stage in the syntheses of stereoisomerically pure components of pest insect pheromones: (E)-dodec-9-en-1-yl acetate (European pine shoot moth Rhyacionia buoliana), (Z)-tetradec-11-en-1-yl acetate (European oak leafroller Tortrix viridana), and (3E,8Z,11Z)-tetradeca-3,8,11-trien-1-yl acetate (tomato leafminer Tuta absoluta).

The approaches compare favorably with others previously described.

Titanium(II)-based Z-reduction of alkynes. Syntheses of deuterium labelled linolenic and oleic acids and (3E,8Z,11Z)-tetradeca-3,8,11-trienyl acetate, the sex pheromone of a tomato pest, Scrobipalpuloides absoluta

An operationally simple TiII-mediated, stereo- and regio-specific reduction of isolated, conjugated and methylene 'skipped' polyynes to the corresponding Z-polyenes in a one-pot procedure is described and applied inter alia to the syntheses of deuterium labelled linolenic and oleic acids. Final quenching with D2O (instead of H2O) results in regio- and stereo-specific Z-dideuteration of the alkyne. The synthesis of (3E,8Z,11Z)-tetradeca-3,8,11-trienyl acetate, the major sex pheromone of Scrobipalpuloides absoluta, a destructive pest of tomatoes, and the (3Z,8Z,11Z)-isomer, utilises this methodology in key reduction steps, and under- or over-reduction are negligible.

Tetradecatrienyl and tetradecadienyl acetates and their use as sex attractants for tomato pests

The present invention is directed to compounds useful as moth attractants and to methods for controlling populations of the tomato moth Scrobipalpuloides absoluta with these compounds. The compounds are 3,8,11-tetradecatrienyl acetates, 3,8-tetradecadienyl acetates, 3,11-tetradecadienyl acetates, and 8,11-tetradecadienyl acetates. Preferred compounds are (3E,8Z,11Z)-3,8,11-tetradecatrienyl acetate, (3E,8Z)-3,8-tetradecadienyl acetate, (3E,11Z)-3,11 -tetradecadienyl acetate, and (8Z,11Z)-8-11-tetradecadienyl acetate. The compounds can be used as an attractant in moth traps comprising, in addition to the compounds, a moth restraint. Alternatively, the compounds of the present invention can be combined with a biocontrol agent or an insecticide for use as a moth control composition. Synthesis of (3E,8Z,11Z)-3,8,11-tetradecatrienyl acetate is described.

(3E,8Z,11Z)-3,8,11-tetradecatrienyl acetate, major sex pheromone component of the tomato pest Scrobipalpuloides absoluta (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae)

The major sex attractant emitted by Scrobipalpuloides absoluta females is shown to be (3E,8Z,11Z)-3,8,11-tetradecatrien-1-yl acetate by a novel strategy involving the random reduction of double bonds, followed by methylthiolation of the reduced products. Each female sex gland contains ca. 1-5 ng of this pheromone. This triene ester, synthesized by a stereospecific procedure, shows spectral and gas chromatographic properties identical to those of the natural substance. In field tests and wind tunnel bioassays, the synthetic ester was found to be highly attractive to conspecific males. The male response to this pheromone, however, is restricted to the same early-morning time window during which females exhibit calling behavior.
