Hydrolytic kinetic resolution (HKR) of functionalised epoxides using (salen)Co(OAc) complexes provides enantiomerically enriched epoxides and diols, which have been transformed into important insect sex pheromones. In this general approach, (-)-(R)- and (+)-(S)-10-methyldodecyl acetates from the smaller tea tortrix moth were obtained, as was (-)-(R)-10-methyltridecan-2-one from the southern corn rootworm. The (S)-epoxide obtained from undec-1-en-6-yne was transformed to (-)-(R)-(Z)-undec-6-en-2-ol (Nostrenol) from ant-lions. HKR of appropriate bisepoxides was also investigated, and transformations of the resulting bisepoxides and epoxydiols provided (-)-(1R,7R)-1,7-dimethylnonylpropanoate from corn rootworms, (-)-(6R,12R)-6,12-dimethylpentadecan-2-one from the female banded cucumber beetle, and (-)-(2S,11S)-2,11-diacetoxytridecane and (+)-(2S,12S)-2,12-diacetoxytridecane from female pea-midges.

From enantiomeric (R)-(-)- and (S)-(+)-2-methylbutyl bromide (3), available by resolution of (R)-(-)-phenylglycinol amides of rac-2-methylbutanoic acid, and from enantiomeric 6-methyloctyl bromide (7) the corresponding phosphonium salts were obtained.Wittig olefination yielded the optically active methyl-branched olefinic THP ethers 12 and 13, hydrolysis, catalytic hydrogenation, and acetylation gave rise to the formation of the chiral title compounds (R)-(-)- and (S)-(+)-10-methyldodecyl acetate (1) and (R)-(-)- and (S)-(+)-12-methyltetradecyl acetate (2).
