The sex attractant pheromone of the citrus mealybug, Planococcus citri (Risso), has been identified as (1R-cis)-(+)-2,2-dimethyl-3-(1-methylethenyl)cyclobutanemethanol acetate (VI).

The citrus mealybug, Planococcus citri (Risso) is a common pest in the Southern U. S. and the Mediterranean. Two alternative syntheses of the female sex pheromone, (1R)-(+)-cis-2,2-dimethyl-3-isopropenyl-cyclobutane methanol acetate, have been developed. Key transformations include an allylic oxidation of (1R)-(+)-α-pinene to (+)-R-verbenone, oxidative decarboxylation using RuCl3-NalO4, and methylenation with Zn/CH 2Br2/TiCl4.
OZONOLYSIS OF ALKENES AND THE REACTIONS OF POLYFUNCTIONAL COMPOUNDS XLIII. SYNTHESIS OF (1R,3R)-(+)-CIS-1-ACETOXYMETHYL-3-ISOPROPENYL-2,2-DIMETHYLCYCLOBUTANE - THE SEX PHEROMONE OF THE VINE MEALY BUG (PLANOCOCCUS CITRI) AND ITS (1S,3S)-(-)-CIS-ENANTIOMER

(1R,3R)-(+)-cis-1-Acetoxymethyl-3-isopropenyl-2,2-dimethylcyclobutane, which is the sex pheromone of the vine mealy bug (Planococcus citri), and its (1S,3S)-(-)-cis-enantiomer were synthesized from (+)- or (-)-α-pinene by ozonolysis in two stages.The overall yield of the required compounds calculated on the initial α-pinenes amounted to about 40percent.
