Shuffling of two simple building blocks and a regioselective transfer hydrogenation allow for the rapid synthesis of a small collection of lepidopteran sex pheromones, e.g., 8E,10Z-tetradeca-8,10-dienal 5c, from the horse chestnut leafminer (Cameraria ohridella).

Two economically important insect pheromones, viz. (E,E)-10,12-hexadecadien-1-al (1) and (Z)-11-octadecenal (2) of cotton pests have been synthesised from cheap and readily available materials utilising in situ alkylation of dianion of 4-pentyn-1-ol obtainable easily by lithium amide induced opening of tetrahydrofurfuryl chloride in liquid ammonia.
