Exo- and endohormones. XVII: Synthesis of racemic 5,9-dimethyl-heptadecane, the sex pheromone for the leafminer moth Leucoptera scitella

The paper describes two practical syntheses of 5,9-dimethyl-heptadecane, the sex pheromone of the leafminer moth Leucoptera scitella (Lepidoptera, Lyonetidae). The first route (Scheme 1) involves as key reaction the coupling of 2-methyl-hexyl magnesium bromide with 3-methyl-undecanal. The second route (Scheme 3) is based on the Schlosser-Fouquet coupling reaction of 2-decyl-magnesium bromide with 4-methyl-octyl bromide.

Transformation of Alkyl Halides to Aldehydes Having Two Additional Carbon Atoms

Methyl 3-oxo-4-phenylbutanoate (6) reacts with alkyl halides (1a-g) in the presence of NaH/benzene to furnish alkylated β-keto esters (2a-g).Hydrolysis of 2a-g gives benzyl ketones (3a-g), which on reduction with sodium borohydride give the homobenzylic alcohols (4a-g).The alcohols (4a-g) are readily fragmented to aldehydes (5a-g) on heating with lead tetraacetate/iodine.
