Synthesis of (-)-Invictolide, the Pheromone Component of the Red Imported Fire Ant

(-)-Invictolide was synthesized in 16 steps from 2-methylpentanal.

PREPARATION OF THE BOTH ENANTIOMERS OF THREO-2-AMINO-3-METHYLHEXANOIC ACID BY ENZYMATIC. RESOLUTION AND THEIR CONVERSION TO OPTICALLY ACTIVE FORMS OF THREO-4-METHYLHEPTAN-3-OL, A PHEROMONE COMPONENT OF THE SMALLER EUROPEAN ELM BARK BEETLE

The both enantiomers of threo-2-amino-3-methylhexanoic acid were prepared by resolving its racemic N-acetate with Aspergillus acylase.The amino acid enantiomers were converted to optically active forms of threo-4-methylheptan-3-ol, a pheromone component of Scolytus multistriatus.
