Paragraph 0179; 0180, (2013/09/12)
The present invention is directed to methods of synthesizing insect pheromones, particularly lepidopteran insect pheromones, their precursors and derivatives from inexpensive, readily available starting materials using olefin metathesis catalysis.

The sex pheromone of Lonomia obliqua Walker (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) was studied in the laboratory. All female calling occurred during the scotophase. Most females (70.6%) called first within 24 hr of eclosion. Calling varied with age of female, with older (5- to 6-day-old) females calling earlier in the scotophase and for longer durations than younger (0- to 1-day-old) females. The sex pheromone gland of 1- to 3-day-old virgin females was extracted during the calling peak. A Y-olfactometer bioassay showed significant attraction of males to a filter paper containing the female gland extract. Gas chromatographic- electroantennogram detection (GC-EAD) analysis of the extract indicated the presence of at least two possible pheromone components. Gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric analysis of the major GC-EAD-active peak indicated a hexadecenyl acetate; chemical derivatization indicated Δ11 unsaturation. Synthetic samples of (E)- and (Z)-11-hexadecenyl acetate were obtained by coupling 10-bromo-1-decanol and 1-hexyne, utilizing lithium chemistry. The comparison of the retention time of dimethyl disulfide derivatives of the natural compound, to those of synthetic chemicals, confirmed the natural compound as (E)-11-hexadecenyl acetate. The minor component was identified as the related alcohol, (E)-11-hexadecenol. The ratio of the two components in female extract was 100:35. Preliminary tests of males in a Y-olfactometer showed that their response to a mixture of the two compounds was not significantly different from that to gland extract.

The Wittig-Horner reaction of ethoxycarbonylmethylenetriphenylphosphorane or ethyl diethylphosphonoacetic acid with cis-11-hexadecenal and the modified Knoevenagel reaction of this aldehyde with malonic acid gave the ethyl ester of trans-2,cis-13-octadecadienoic acid and trans,cis-13-octadecadienoic acid, which upon reduction and acetylation were converted into trans-2,cis-13- and trans-3-cis-13-octadecadien-1-yl acetates, which are components of the sex pheromone of Synanthedon tipuliformis (Lepidoptera, Sisiidae).

The zinc halide-initiated homoallylic rearrangement of saturated or allylic cyclopropylcarbinols in the presence of trimethylsilyl halides has been employed as the key step in the total synthesis of seven behavioral regulators in twenty insects of the Lepidoptera family, namely 9E-tetradecenol and its acetate, 11E-hexadecenol and its acetate, 11E-hexadecenal, 5E,7E-dodecadienol, and 3E,5E-tetradecadienyl acetate.
Pheromones via Organoboranes. 2. Vinylic Organoboranes. 8. Applications of the General Stereoselective Synthesis of (E)-Disubstituted Alkenes via Thexylchloroborane-Dimethyl Sulfide to the Synthesis of Pheromones Containing an (E)-Alkene Moiety

Various (E)-pheromones of the general structure (E)-X-alken-1-yl acetates, (E)-X-alken-1-ols, and (E)-X-alken-1-als have been prepared via thexylchloroborane-dimethyl sulfide (ThxBHCl*SMe2).Hydroboration of acetate-functionalized alkenes with ThxBHCl*SMe2 gives cleanly the corresponding thexylalkylchloroboranes (ThxBRCl, B).Hydridation of B with potassium triisopropoxyhydride (KIPBH) at -78 deg C gives cleanly the corresponding thexylalkylboranes (ThxBRH, C).These are quenched immediately with 1-halo-1-alkynes to give B-(cis-1-halo-1-alkenyl)thexylalkylboranes (D).Treatment of D with sodium methoxide results in the displacement of bromine by the alkyl group on boron to produce B-(trans-1-alkyl-1-alkenyl)thexylborinates (E).Protonolysis of E with acetic acid provides (E)-X-alken-1-yl acetates in high yields and in >99percent isomeric purities.Treatment of (E)-X-alken-1-yl acetates with base affords the corresponding (E)-X-alken-1-ols.Oxidation of (E)-X-alken-1-ols with dimethyl sulfoxide activated by oxalyl chloride or the complex of dimethyl sulfide and chlorine produces (E)-X-alken-1-als quantitatively.By properly choosing the starting functionalized alkenes and 1-halo-1-alkynes, various (E)-pheromones can be prepared easily.The present procedure appears to be general.There does not appear to be any limitation on the length of the carbon chain or the position of the double bond in the target molecules.
