Short synthesis of vesperal [(S)-10-oxoisopiperitenone], the female sex pheromone of the longhorn beetle (Vesperus xatarti), and of its enantiomer

Vesperal [(S)-10-oxoisopiperitenone, 1], the female sex pheromone of the longhorn beetle (Vesperus xatarti), was synthesized from (R)-limonene (3) in 6% overall yield (6 steps). The non-natural (R)-vesperal was also prepared from (S)-limonene.
