Pheromone synthesis. Part 256: Synthesis of the four stereoisomers of 5,11-dimethylpentacosane, a new sex pheromone component of the male Galleria mellonella (L.), with high stereochemical purities as determined by the derivatization-HPLC analysis of the eight stereoisomers of 5,11-dimethyl-8-pentacosanol

Abstract All the four stereoisomers of 5,11-dimethylpentacosane (>96.8% purity) were synthesized via the stereoisomers of 5,11-dimethyl-8-pentacosanol, whose stereoisomeric compositions could be determined precisely by their low temperature HPLC analysis after derivatization. 5,11-Dimethyl-8-pentacosanol was prepared by a Grignard reaction between 3-methylheptylmagnesium bromide and 4-methyloctadecanal, both of which were prepared from the commercially available enantiomers of citronellal (97-98% ee). Alternatively, (R)-3-methyl-1-heptanol could be prepared from methyl (R)-3-hydroxybutanoate (100% ee). Pd/C-catalyzed hydrogenation of a 5-methyl-1-alkene caused partial racemaization at C-5.

Polyprenols, a universal class of glycan-carrier lipids, play important roles in glycan biosynthesis in wide variety of living organisms. The chemical synthesis of natural polyisoprenols such as undecaprenol and dolichols, and even more so the synthesis o
Synthesis of all the stereoisomers of 6-methyl-2-octadecanone, 14-methyl-2-octadecanone, and 6,14-dimethyl-2-octadecanone, sex pheromone components of the Lyclene dharma dharma moth, from the enantiomers of citronellal

The enantiomers of citronellal were converted to all the stereoisomers of 6-methyl-2-octadecanone, 14-methyl-2-octadecanone, and 6,14-dimethyl-2- octadecanone, the female-produced sex pheromone components of the Lyclene dharma dharma moth. Three wellestablished procedures, the Wittig reaction, alkylation of alkynes, and acetoacetic ester synthesis, were employed for the carbon-carbon bond formation to connect the building blocks.

(+)-Tubelactomicin A (1), an antitubercular lactone, has been synthesized from (S)-citronellol (2) and 2-deoxy-l-ribonolactone (18) through intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction, Suzuki-Miyaura coupling, and Shiina macrolactonization.
Synthetic studies toward potent cytotoxic agent amphidinolide B: Synthesis of the C8-C18 fragment

A practical synthesis of the C8-C18 fragment 1 of amphidinolide B is described in which the Stille coupling method was employed to construct the trisubstituted C28=C13-C14=C15 's-cis-1,3-diene' moiety from suitably functionalized vinyl iodide (4) and vinyl stannane (5) fragments, the former being prepared from an acetylene precursor using Negishi's carboalumination/iodination method.
