Synthesis of (S)-(+)-2-methyl-4-octanol: male-specific compound released by sugarcane weevil Sphenophorus levis (coleoptera: curculionidae)

Synthesis of (S)-(+)-2-methyl-4-octanol: male-specific compound released by sugarcane weevil Sphenophorus levis (coleoptera: curculionidae)

(S)-2-Methyl-4-octanol (1) is a male-specific compound released by the sugarcane weevil Sphenophorus levis, being its biological activity associated with the aggregation behaviour of the species. Continuing our studies on the chemical ecology of this species, this work describes an expeditious synth...
