Racemic 5,9-dimethylpentadecane and 5,9-dimethylhexadecane, the major and minor constituents, respectively, of the sex pheromone of Leucoptera coffeella, have been synthesized from citronellol in 56-58% overall yield through six steps. Ultrasound irradiation efficiently supported tosylation of alcohols (two steps) as well as the subsequent cross coupling reactions with the pertinent Grignard reagents (also two steps).

The sequence of the Michael addition of nitroalkanes and denitration from the adduct provides a new and general method for conjugate addition of primary and secondary alkyl groups to electron deficient olefins such as α,β-unsaturated aldehydes, ketones, esters, nitriles, sulfoxides, and sulfones.
