(Diagram presented) Catalytic cross-metathesis of commercial divinyl sulfone allowed direct access to novel (E)-alkenylvinyl sulfones and (E,E)-dialkenyl sulfones with excellent stereoselectivity. These compounds are useful building blocks, e.g., in the s

The present invention relates to metathesis syntheses for insect sex-attractant pheromones or their components, such as E-5-decenyl acetate, the major component of the Peach Twig Borer pheromone; (5R,6S)-6-acetoxy-5-hexadecanolide, the mosquito oviposition attractant pheromone; E9,Z11-hexadecadienal, the pecan nut casebearer moth pheromone; 9-tetradecenyl formate, an analog of the Diamondback Moth (DBM) pheromone; 11-tetradecenyl acetate, the Omnivorous Leafroller (OLR) pheromone; E-4-tridecenyl acetate, the major component of the Tomato Pinworm (TPW) pheromone; E,E-8,10-dodecadienol, the Codling Moth (CM) pheromone. The syntheses preferably employ a Class I-IV metathesis catalyst, entail few reaction steps, use generally commercially available starting materials, and have relatively short process times. These syntheses produce good yields without the need for expensive or sophisticated equipment. The invention also provides an inexpensive route for producing omega-haloalkenols by cross-metathesizing alpha-omega-diacetoxy alkenes and alpha-omega-dihalides to yield omega-haloalkenols, which are easily converted into omega-haloalkanols under traditional hydrogenation methods.

A fairly simple and original one-stage method of obtaining optically active attractants of Porthetria dispar-(+)-and (-)-2-methyl-Z- and E-7,8-epoxyoctadecanes has been developed.The synthesis is based on the epoxidation of 2-methyloctadec-Z- and -E-7-enes by chiral peroxide complexes of molybdenum of the type of MoO5-L* in an organic solvent at room temperature.Derivatives of tartaric, lactic, β-aminopropionic, and aspartic acids have been used as the chiral ligands (L*).
