SYNTHESIS OF PHEROMONES AND RELATED MATERIALS VIA OLEFIN METATHESIS
-
Paragraph 0230, (2018/09/12)
Methods for preparation of olefins, including 8- and 11-unsaturated monoenes and polyenes, via transition metathesis-based synthetic routes are described. Metathesis reactions in the methods are catalyzed by transition metal catalysts including tungsten-, molybdenum-, and ruthenium-based catalysts. The olefins include insect pheromones useful in a number of agricultural applications.
Process for preparing functional group-containing olefinic compounds

Page column 12-13, (2010/02/10)
A process for preparing functional group-containing olefinic compounds comprises the steps of (a) reacting at least one alkylidene phosphorane with at least one carbonyl-containing compound that comprises at least one group that is a leaving group, or that is capable of subsequent conversion to a leaving group, to form an olefinic compound that comprises at least one leaving group, the carbonyl-containing compound being selected from the group consisting of ketones and aldehydes; and (b) reacting the olefinic compound with at least one functional group-containing nucleophile to form a functional group-containing olefinic compound.
Ethylation of 2-Alkenyltetrahydrofurans and 2-Alkenyltetrahydropyrans Catalyzed by Titaniun(IV) Isoprpopoxide. Supplement to the Synthesis of Pheromones of Lesser Plum Worm and Tea Leaf Roller Moth

Reaction of 2-vinyltetrahydrofuran and 2-vinyltetrahydropyran with ethylmagnesium bromude in the presence ot titanium(IV) isopropoxide afforded in moderate selectivity trans-4-octen-1-ol and trans-5-nonen-1-ol respectively. Best yields and high stereochemical purity of products were obtained in ethylation under these conditions of 2-(cis-1-propenyl)tetrahydrofuran, 2-(cis-1-proprnyl)- and 2-(trans-1-propenyl)-tetrahydropyran. It is assumed that the key organometallic intermediate formed was diisopropoxytitanacycloprpopane, and direction of its addition to the doubel bond governed the streochemistry of the resulting product. The obtained trans-4-octen-1-ol and trans-7-methyl-5-nonen-1-ol were applied as initial products in the synthesis of sex pheromones of lesser plum worm (Grafolita funebrana) and tea leaf roller moth (Adoxophyes sp).

, p. 737 - 748 (2007/10/02)
Simple syntheses have been developed for the preparation of isomeric mixtures of 8-dodecen-1-yl acetates, which are active sex pheromones of many insect species.The Wittig reaction under modified conditions and reduction of the C-C triple bond were applied for the stereocontrolled formation of the C-C double bond.
