A Facile Asymmetric Synthesis of (S)-14-Methyl-1-Octadecene, the Sex Pheromone of the Peach Leafminer Moth
An asymmetric synthesis of 14-methyl-1-octadecene, the sex pheromone of the peach leafminer moth has been achieved. The target molecule was synthesized in six linear steps and in 30.3% overall yield from commercially available hexanoyl chloride, (S)-4-benzyloxazolidin-2-one and 1,9-nonanediol. The h...
