Two normonoterpenes were detected from an unidentified Tyreophagus sp. as new female-specific components. Both planar structures were identified to be 2,6-dimethyl-5-heptenal (1) and 2,6-dimethyl-5-hepten- 1-ol (2) by GC/MS co-chromatography with synthetic 1 and 2. The stereochemistry of 2 was determined to be R by a GC analysis with a chiral column, while that of 1 was presumed to be similar to 2 based on the biosynthetic aspects.

Synthesis of optically pure 2,6-dimethyl-5-hepten-1-ol (melonol) has been attempted using lipases. Among three different lipases tested, pig pancreatic lipase (PPL) is found to be suitable for transesterification of (±)-melonol to afford (R)-(+)-melonol with an enantiomeric excess of 94%.

Epoxides are easily converted into iodohydrins and alkenes are obtained from either epoxides or iodohydrins by treatment with HI, generated in situ from Ph3P*I2 in moist CH3CN.
