Pheromone Synthesis, CLIV. Synthesis of the Stereoisomers of 3-Methyl-4-octanol to Determine the Absolute Configuration of the Naturally Occuring (3S,4S)-Isomer Isolated as the Male-Produced Aggregation Pheromone of the African Palm Weevil, Rhynchophorus

The relative configuration of the naturally occuring 3-methyl-4-octanol (1), the male-produced aggregation pheromone of Rhynchophorus phoenicis, was determined as syn by a GC comparison of the synthetic (+/-)-syn- and (+/-)-anti-1 with the natural product

Pheromone Synthesis, CLVII. Synthesis of the Enantiomers of syn-4-Methyl-5-nonanol to Determine the Absolute Configuration of the Naturally Occurring (4S,5S) Isomer Isolated as the Male-Produced Pheromone Compound of Rhynchophorus vulneratus and Metamasiu

The enantioselective synthesis of both (4R,5R)- and (4S,5S)-4-methyl-5-nonanol (1) was achieved by starting from an optically active epoxide 5.A GC comparison on a chiral stationary phase of the synthetic enantiomers of 1 with the naturally occurring 1 wa
