Pheromone synthesis. Part 257: Synthesis of methyl (2E,4Z,7Z)-2,4,7-decatrienoate and methyl (E)-2,4,5-tetradecatrienoate, the pheromone components of the male dried bean beetle, Acanthoscelides obtectus (Say)

Tandem Dess-Martin oxidation/Wittig reaction of (2Z,5Z)-2,5-octadien-1-ol yielded methyl (2E,4Z,7Z)-2,4,7-decatrienoate, a newly discovered pheromone component of the male dried bean beetle, while that of (±)-2,3-dodecadien-1-ol gave (±)-methyl (E)-2,4,5-tetradecatrienoate, the racemate of the known and major pheromone component. Methyl (2E,4E,7Z)-2,4,7-decatrienoate was also synthesized, which is the methyl ester of an acid metabolite of a green alga. Reduction of 2,5-octadiyn-1-ol with Zn-Cu/EtOH cleanly gave (2Z,5Z)-2,5-octadien-1-ol.

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) represent the leading concept for mRNA delivery. Unsaturated lipids play important roles in nature with potential for mRNA therapeutics, but are difficult to access through chemical synthesis. To systematically study the role of unsaturation, modular reactions were utilized to access a library of 91 amino lipids, enabled by the synthesis of unsaturated thiols. An ionizable lipid series (4A3) emerged from in vitro and in vivo screening, where the 4A3 core with a citronellol-based (Cit) periphery emerged as best. We studied the interaction between LNPs and a model endosomal membrane where 4A3-Cit demonstrated superior lipid fusion over saturated lipids, suggesting its unsaturated tail promotes endosomal escape. Furthermore, 4A3-Cit significantly improved mRNA delivery efficacy in vivo through Selective ORgan Targeting (SORT), resulting in 18-fold increased protein expression over parent LNPs. These findings provide insight into how lipid unsaturation promotes mRNA delivery and demonstrate how lipid mixing can enhance efficacy.

Male-specific volatile components, released by the dried bean beetle, Acanthoscelides obtectus, were identified as methyl (E,R)-2,4,5-tetradecatrienoate, methyl (2E,4Z,7Z)-2,4,7-decatrienoate, methyl (2E,4Z)-2,4-decadienoate, octadecanal and the sesquiterpenes (3Z,6E)- and (3E,6E)-α-farnesene. In olfactometer bioassays, pure methyl (E,R)-2,4,5-tetradecatrienoate was only weakly attractive to unmated females. However, a blend of the six identified compounds released in physiologically relevant ratios and doses proved to be as active as headspace odours collected from live males.

Regio- as well as stereospecific cis-reductions of a wide variety of acetylenic derivatives can be carried out in absolute ethanol with zinc powder activated with 1,2-dibromoethane and with zinc power treated successively with dibromoethane and lithium bromocuprate, the first reagent being less powerful and more selective than the second one.
