Efficient synthesis of (R)- and (S)-3-octanol, (R)-2-dodecanol, (R)-2-methyl-4-heptanol and (R)-2-methyl-4-octanol: The pheromones of Myrmica scabrinodis, Crematogaster castanea, C. liengmei, C. auberti and Metamasius hemipterus

A simple and efficient synthesis of optically active insect pheromones, such as (R)- and (S)-3-octanol, (R)-2-dodecanol, (R)-2-methyl-4-heptanol and (R)-2-methyl-4-octanol starting from non-racemic β-hydroxy sulfides has been established.

Highly efficient synthesis of chiral β-hydroxy sulfides with high enantiomeric purity via CBS-oxazaborolidine-catalyzed borane reduction

A simple and efficient synthesis of chiral β-hydroxy p-tolylsulfides with high enantiomeric purity by CBS-oxazaborolidine-catalyzed asymmetric borane reduction of β-keto p-tolylsulfides using N-ethyl-N-isopropylaniline-borane complex as the borane carrier is reported.
