The enantiomers of 3-methylpentacosane, 3-methylheptacosane, 3-methylnonacosane, 13-methylheptacosane, and 5-methylheptacosane were synthesized by starting from the enantiomers of 2-methylbutyl bromide or citronellol. These methyl-branched alkanes are the characteristic components of the cuticular hydrocarbons of queen of the ant, Diacamma sp.
A New Synthesis of Long Chain Acid Esters and Carbinols

, p. 208 - 211 (2007/10/02)
A versatile synthesis of difficulty accessible long chain acid esters and carbinols is described.The synthesis involves acylations at 2- and 5-positions of thiophene.Thioketalation of the resulting ketoesters followed by Raney nickel desulfurization yield acid esters which on LAH reduction give the corresponding carbinols.
