Regio- and stereochemical study of sex pheromone of pine sawfly; Diprion nipponica

Regio- and stereoisomers of 1,2,ω-trimethyldecyl propionate (ω = 5-9) were prepared from stereochemically pure chiral building blocks as sex pheromone candidates of a pine sawfly; Diprion nipponica. Among the synthesized candidates, (1S,2R,8S)-1,2,8-trimethyldecyl propionate was found to be the sex pheromone of D. nipponica, based on compatibility of its GC-MS data with that of the extract of females, and its significantly high pheromone activity in a field bioassay. The field bioassay of the synthesized compounds also revealed that (1S,2R,SR)-1,2,8-trimethyldecyl propionate, (1S,2R,7S)-1,2,7-trimethyldecyl propionate, and (1S,2R,6S)-1,2,6-trimethyldecyl propionate could attract male sawflies to some extent as pheromone mimics.

A facile synthesis of (S)-trogodermal

A simple route for the synthesis of (S)-(Z)- and (S)-(E)-14-methyloctadec-8-en-1-al (Ia and Ib) has been developed.The achiral acetylene (9) is alkylated with the chiron bromide (S)-5 in the presence of BuLi as the base to give 10.This on subsequent functionalisation furnishes both Ia and Ib.
