Serricornin, the sex pheromone of Lasioderma serricorne F, was synthesised in 7.6% overall yield starting from methyl (R)-3-hydroxypentanoate of microbial origin. Its (4R,6S,7S)-isomer was also synthesised.

The absolute stereochemistry of serricornin (4,6-dimethyl-7-hydroxy-3-nonanone) was established as 4S, 6S, 7S by synthesizing both (4S, 6S, 7S)-isomer and its antipode.Only the natural enantiomer was bioactive.by
