SYNTHESIS OF PHEROMONE DERIVATIVES VIA Z-SELECTIVE OLEFIN METATHESIS
-
Paragraph 0254-0258, (2021/12/28)
Disclosed herein are methods for synthesizing fatty olefin metathesis products of high Z-isomeric purity from olefin feedstocks of low Z-isomeric purity. The methods include contacting a contacting an olefin metathesis reaction partner, such as acylated alkenol or an alkenal acetal, with an internal olefin in the presence of a Z-selective metathesis catalyst to form the fatty olefin metathesis product. In various embodiments, the fatty olefin metathesis products are insect pheromones. Pheromone compositions and methods of using them are also described.
SYNTHESIS OF PHEROMONES AND RELATED MATERIALS VIA OLEFIN METATHESIS

, (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.
SYNTHESIS OF Z-OLEFIN-CONTAINING LEPIDOPTERAN INSECT PHEROMONES
