Eight geometric isomers of 3,6,8-dodecatrien-1-ol 1, the trail-following pheromone of subterranean termites (Reticulitermes sp. Banks), were synthesized via a Wittig olefination reaction. The convergent syntheses of 1 consisted of a combination of two fragments, each containing an olefin with a fixed configuration, by formation of a third double bond to give a mixture of two geometric isomers. The mixtures of 1 were resolved by recycle high-performance liquid chromatography methods. 1H and 13C NMR peak assignments of the individual isomers were accomplished by homonuclear COSY, and one-bond CH correlation spectroscopy.

2,2-Difluoroarachidonic acid, characterized by the inductively enhanced acidity of the carboxyl group and its biological stability to β-oxidation, was synthesized using a fluorine-containing building block derived from ethyl bromodifluoroacetate and a car

A series of unsaturated ω-fluoro alcohols have been prepared stereoselectively.These simple compounds are structural analogues of the trail pheromone of termites in the genus Reticulitermes.The toxicity of these ω-fluoro alcohols to R. flavipes is maximal for the C12 alcohols, and the attractiveness of these C12 analogues increases in the order saturated alkanol -12-fluoro alcohols and a -nonfluorinated analogue were prepared to examine the catabolism of the pheromone analogues.
