SYNTHESIS OF THE ENANTIOMERS OF CIS-2-METHYL-5-HEXANOLIDE, THE MAJOR COMPONENT OF THE SEX PHEROMONE OF THE CARPENTER BEE

(2R,5S)-2-Methyl-5-hexanolide and its antipode were synthesized in highly optically pure state (98-99percent e.e.) starting from ethyl (S)-lactate and the enantiomers of methyl β-hydroxyisobutyrate.The specific rotations of our samples were D +/- 91.0 -93.5 deg (CHCl3), while the reported values of the samples prepared by resolution or asymmetric synthesis were +/- 64.5-65.6 deg.
