Syntheses are developed for 2S-tridecyl-and 2S-tridec-10E-enylacetates, sex pheromones of the fruit fly Drosophila mulleri and the Hessian fly Mayetiola destructor, respectively, that are based on ethyl-3S-hydroxybutanoate, a product from enzymatic reduction of ethyl acetoacetate by the soil yeast strain "80-1.".
A SIMPLE SYNTHESIS OF (S)-(+)-SULCATOL, THE PHEROMONE OF GNATHOTRICHUS RETUSUS, EMPLOYING BAKER'S YEAST FOR ASYMMETRIC REDUCTION

Ethyl (S)-3-hydroxybutanoate of 87percent optical purity was obtained by the yeast reduction of ethyl acetoacetate and was converted into 85-87percent optically pure (S)-(+)-sulcatol (6-methyl-5-hepten-2-ol) by a 5-step sequence in 73percent overall yield.
