(11Z,13Z)-11,13-Hexadecadienal, the female sex pheromone of the navel orangeworm (Amyelois transitella), was synthesized from commercially available 10-bromo-1-decanol in a 27% overall yield (8 steps). The synthesis was achieved by using 10-iododecanal, trimethylsilylacetylene and (Z)-1-bromo-12-butene as the key building blocks, employing Sonogashira-Hagihara coupling and Brown's hydroboration-protonolysis as the key reactions. The terminal formyl group was installed in the earlier stage of the synthesis rather than in the final step. This procedure enabled the multi-gram-scale preparation of this economically important pheromone.

The present invention provides compounds useful for preparing synthetic pheromone compositions that can be used as attractants or inhibitors of insect species. The compositions are useful in the control of navel orangeworm or meal moth insect pests.

This report outlines a commercial synthetic process for (Z,Z)-11,13-hexadecadienal (navel orangeworm pheromone).The synthetic scheme which is employed introduces the stereochemically labile conjugated diene moiety at a late stage in the synthesis, thereby avoiding complications during the purification of intermediates.In addition, the aldehyde function is generated through a Grignard reaction sequence, obviating the generally accepted techniques which are usually unsuitable for commercial preparations.We have also observed the first reported selective inclusion by urea of a conjugated (Z,Z)-diene as a means of mild purification of labile dienic pheromone intermediates.
