We report herein a regio- and stereoselective photocatalytic hydrogenolysis of allylic alcohols to form unsaturated hydrocarbons employing a palladium(II)-loaded titanium oxide; the reaction proceeds at room temperature under light irradiation without stoichiometric generation of salt wastes. Olefin and saturated alcohol moieties tolerated the reaction conditions. Hydrogen atoms were selectively incorporated into less sterically congested carbons of the allylic functionalities. This protocol allowed a short-step synthesis of (S)-(+)-lavandulol from (R)-(?)-carvone by avoiding otherwise necessary protection/deprotection steps.

Mathuralure (1) is the major sex pheromone component of the pink gypsy moth Lymantria mathura, a potentially devastating invasive species to North America. To support population monitoring of this moth, a gram-scale synthesis of (-)-mathuralure (1) was developed. This process relies on coupling an alkynyl lithium species with a chloroepoxide and provides access to the natural product in a 10% yield over 10 steps.
An efficient synthesis of (-)-posticlure: The sex pheromone of Orgyia postica
Fernandes, Rodney A.
, p. 5064 - 5070 (2008/03/18)
An efficient multigram synthesis of (-)-posticlure, the first frans-epoxide sex pheromone found in Orgyia postica, from diethyl L-tartrate is described. The synthesis was completed in seven steps and 27 % overall yield. The synthetic strategy features double-Wittig olefination and a stereoselective one-pot conversion of diol to epoxide as the key steps. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 2007.
