A method has been developed for the stereospecific synthesis of (Z)-dodeca-9,11-dienyl acetate, a component, together with the corresponding (E) isomer, of the sex pheromone of the red cotton bollworm moth, that is based on the coupling of vinylacetylene with either 8-hydroxyoctanal or 8-bromoctan-1-ol to form a C12 enynic compound in which the acetylenic bond is then reduced stereospecifically with 9-borabicyclononane.
