A simple and cost effective synthesis of 3,11-dimethylnonacosan-2-one, a female sex pheromone of the German cockroach

A convenient synthesis of 3,11-dimethylnonacosan-2-one (1) is described. Our strategy involves the use of well known C-alkylation and ethyl acetoacetate synthesis reactions as key steps. We expect that this method will prove to be useful for large scale preparation of 1 and modification of dimethylnonacosanones.

Titanium-mediated formation of 1,2-disubstituted cyclopropanols from esters and alkenes. A new approach to the synthesis of 3,11- dimethylnonacosan-2-one, a sex pheromone of the german cockroach

A convenient new approach to the synthesis of 3,11-dimethylnonacosan-2- one (1), a component of the sex pheromone of the German cockroach Blattella germanica, using base-induced ring opening of corresponding easily available 1,2-disubstituted cyclopropanols has been performed.

A new synthesis of the four stereoisomers of 3,11-dimethyl-2-nonacosanone, the female-produced sex pheromone of the German cockroach

The pure four stereoisomers of 3,11-dimethyl-2-nonacosanone (1), the female-produced sex pheromone of the German cockroach, were synthesized starting from (R)-citronellol (2a) and ethyl (R)-3-hydroxybutanoate (3). The key step was the chromatographic separation of (5RS,6R)-6-hydroxy-5-methyl-2-heptanone (16a) to give pure (5R,6R- and) 5S,6R-isomers. All of the four stereoisomers of 1 were bioactive.

SYNTHESES OF OPTICALLY ACTIVE INSECT PHEROMONES, -2-METHYL-5-HEXANOLIDE, -3,11-DIMETHYL-2-NONACOSANONE, AND SERRICORNIN

Three insect pheromones, (2R,5S)-2-methyl-5-hexanolide, (3S,11S)-3,11-dimethyl-2-nonacosanone, and serricornin, were synthesized in optically pure forms by using newly developed asymmetric reactions as key steps.

SYNTHETIC INVESTIGATIONS INTO THE ATTRACTING SUBSTANCES (SEX ATTRACTANTS) OF INSECTS. V. SYNTHESIS OF 3,11-DIMETHYL-2-NONACOSANONE, ONE OF THE COMPONENTS OF THE SEX PHEROMONE OF THE GERMAN COCKROACH Blattella germanica L. AND ITS ANALOG 11-METHYL-2-NONACOSANONE

8-Oxo-6-nonenal was obtained by the reaction of adipaldehyde with acetylmethylenetriphenylphosphorane and was converted by acetalization into the unsaturated ketoacetal 1,1-diethoxy-6-nonen-8-one.The latter was converted by reaction with heptadecylmethylenetriphenylphosphorane into 1,1-diethoxy-8-methyl-6,8-hexacosadiene, the hydrogenation of which over platinum oxide led to the saturated 1,1-diethoxy-8-methylhexacosane.This acetal was hydrolyzed under acidic conditions to the corresponding aldehyde 8-methylhexacosanal, which was condensed with 3-diethylphosphono-2-butanone by the Horner reaction without further purification to 3,11-dimethyl-2-nonacosen-2-one.Hydrogenation of the latter over platinum oxide gave the final 3,11-dimethyl-2-nonacosanone, which is one of the components of the sex pheromone of the female German cockroach Blattella germanica L.The reaction of heptadecylmethylenetriphenylphosphorane at one carbonyl group of 2,11-dodecanedione gave 11-methyl-11-nonacosen-2-one, which was converted by hydrogenation over platinum oxide into the analog 11-methyl-2-nonacosanone.
