7-METHYL-3-METHYLENE-7-OCTENAL ACETAL COMPOUND AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING ALDEHYDE COMPOUND AND ESTER COMPOUND USING THE SAME

There are provided methods of efficiently producing compounds that are, for example, sex pheromones of San Jose Scale. For example, there is provided a method for producing a 7-methyl-3-methylene-7-octenyl carboxylate compound (4), the method including the steps of: hydrolyzing a 7-methyl-3-methylene-7-octenal acetal compound (1) to obtain 7-methyl-3-methylene-7-octenal (2); reducing the 7-methyl-3-methylene-7-octenal (2) to obtain 7-methyl-3-methylene-7-octenol (3); and esterifying the 7-methyl-3-methylene-7-octenol (3) to obtain a 7-methyl-3-methylene-7-octenyl carboxylate compound (4).

SYNTHESIS OF THE PHEROMONES, (E)-3,7-DIMETHYL-2,7-OCTADIENYL PROPIONATE, (E)-3,7-DIMETHYL-2-OCTENE-1,8-DIOL AND FRONTALIN FROM A COMMON INTERMEDIATE

Ketal ester 9 has been prepared in five steps from methyl levulinate 4 (scheme 1).The propionate 1, diol 2 and (+/-) frontalin 3 were prepared from ester 9 employing the routes shown in scheme 2,3 and 4 respectively.The branched chain alkenes 13 and 20 were prepared conveniently from the primary alcohols 11 and 10 following the procedure of S.Wolff.Triethyl phosphonopropionate 7 has been prepared by methylating triethylphosphonoacetate with methyl iodide in the presence of sodium hydride.

SYNTHESIS OF THE SAN JOSE SCALE'S SEX PHEROMONE COMPONENT USING AN AVAILABLE NATURALLY OCCURRING STARTING MATERIAL

(Z)-3,7-Dimethyl-2,7-octadien-1-yl propanoate (1), a component of the San Jose scale (Quadraspidiotus perniciosus, Comstock) pheromone, was prepared by the multistage isomerisation of the C6 carbon-carbon double bond of the readily available compound, nerol (3).The synthesis was carried out via the epoxide by subsequent LiAlH4 ring cleavage and Hofmann-like mesylate elimination.
