Sex pheromone of Callosobruchus subinnotatus

Sex pheromone produced by Callosobruchus subinnotatus females stimulates conspecific males to walk upwind toward the source. Gas chromatographic and mass spectrometric analyses of sex pheromone components and their hydrogenated derivatives suggested that the sex pheromone consisted of two short-chain fatty acids, (E)-3-methyl-2-heptenoic acid (E32C7) and (Z)-3- methyl-2-heptenoic acid (Z32C7). The composition of the sex pheromone was confirmed by electrophysiological and behavioral bioassays with synthetic compounds. A mixture of 5 ng E32C7 and 5 ng Z32C7 elicited a 2.1-mV male EAG response, whereas the solvent control elicited 0.1 mV. Mixtures of the two compounds at various ratios were attractive to males in Y-tube bioassays. A pitfall-type trap equipped with a lure impregnated with 1 ng E32C7 and 1 ng Z32C7 was effective in trapping males. Traps baited with the lure caught 80% of males in a glass aquarium during nighttime and 50% during daytime, whereas control traps (solvent treated) in a separate aquarium caught 20% and 10%, respectively.
Process for the preparation of fatty acids

Paragraph 0179-0206; 0222-0224, (2020/09/04)
The invention discloses a method for preparing fatty acid. The method comprises the following steps: providing a first reactant which is a furan compound containing an carbonyl group; providing a second reactant which is a compound containing a carboxyl group, an ester group or an anhydride group and can participate in a condensation reaction with the carbonyl group of the first reactant; allowingthe first reactant and the second reactant to participate in a first condensation reaction, and allowing a C=O bond of the carbonyl group of the first reactant to be connected with alpha carbon of the carbonyl group of the second reactant and to be converted into a C=C bond so as to form a condensation product; and carrying out a second-step reaction under hydrogen pressure in the presence of a co-catalytic system of a hydrogenation catalyst and Lewis acid, opening a furan ring of the condensation product, carrying out hydrodeoxygenation at the same time, removing all oxygen except for oxygenin the carboxyl group, and allowing a carbon chain to be saturated so as to obtain the fatty acid.

(Chemical Equation Presented) The enantioselective carbolithiation of ortho-substituted (E)-β-methylstyrenes provides access to chiral lithiated intermediates with broad synthetic potential. Specifically, β- methylstyrenes with o-aminomethyl, ether, and o
Phenylglycine methyl ester, a useful tool for absolute configuration determination of various chiral carboxylic acids

A new chiral anisotropic reagent, phenylglycine methyl ester (PGME), developed for the elucidation of the absolute configuration of chiral α,α- disubstituted acetic acids, has turned out to be applicable to other substituted carboxylic acids, such as chiral α-hydroxy-, α-alkoxy-, and α- acyloxy-α,α-disubstituted acetic acids, as well as to chiral β,β- disubstituted propionic acids. Because a carboxylic moiety is convertible from other functional groups, e.g., ozonolysis of an olefin and oxidative cleavage of a glycol, the present findings can expand the utility of the PGME method to the absolute configuration determination of various types of organic compounds, even those which initially lack oxygen functions. Several examples of the combination of chemical reactions and the PGME method are described.
