Anomeric carboxymethyl GLA-60 olefine derivatives having ether chains instead of ester chains in their side chains were synthesized and their biological activities toward both human U937 cells and mouse PEC-macrophage cells were measured. The species-specific behavior of these compounds in humans (LPS-antagonistic) and mice (very weak LPS-antagonistic, but almost inactive) found this time was different from that in humans (LPS-antagonistic) and mice (endotoxic) found in the biosynthetic precursor of lipid A, such as lipid IVa. However, this fact also shows, interestingly enough, that a difference exists in the molecular recognition between human and mouse LPS receptors.
Sec-butyl (Z)-7-tetradecenoate and its use as a sex attractant for the grapeleaf skeletonizer

, (2008/06/13)
A pheromonal compound produced by the western grapeleaf skeletonizer has been identified as sec-butyl (Z)-7-tetradecenoate. The synthetically-prepared compound demonstrates activity toward both the western grapeleaf skeletonizer, Harrisina brillians Barnes and McDunnough and the grapeleaf skeletonizer, Harrisina americana (Guerin). By attracting adult moths to field traps, this compound offers a useful tool in monitoring and control of this pest.
INSECT SEX PHEROMONES. STEREOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF SEVERAL (Z)- AND (E)-ALKEN-1-OLS, THEIR ACETATES, AND OF (9Z,12E)-9,12-TETRADECADIEN-1-YL ACETATE

Several female sex pheromone components produced by moths belonging to the order of Lepidoptera, and potential attractants of Dacus oleae (Diptera:Tripetidae) have been synthesized in high chemical and stereoisomeric purity by improved acetylenic routes involving alkylation of lithium 1-alkyn-1-ides in HMPT, followed by (Z) and (E) highly stereoselective reduction of the derived internal alkynes.Particular care has been paid to optimize the parameters of the reactions used and to evaluate the chemical and isomeric purity of the reaction products.The compounds synthesized include (Z)- and (E)-5-nonen-1-ol, (Z)- and (E)-7-dodecen-1-yl acetate, (Z)- and (E)-7-teradecen-1-yl acetate, (Z)- and (E)-7-nonen-1-ol, (Z)- and (E)-9-tetradecen-1-yl acetate, (Z)- and (E)-10-tetradecen-1-yl acetate, (Z)- and (E)-11-tetradecen-1-yl acetate.Pure (Z)-6-nonen-1-ol, which is an attractant of olive fruit fly, D. oleae, and very probably, a constituent of the sex pheromone of females of this insect, has been prepared by a rather efficient copper-catalyzed reaction between (Z)-3-hexen-1-ylmagnesium bromide and oxetane. (9Z,12E)-9,12-Tetradecadien-1-yl acetate, which is the pheromone of Anagasta kuenniella, Ephestia elutella, Cadra figulella, Spodoptera exigua, S. litura, and a component of the sex pheromones of several other Lepidoptera, has been conveniently prepared by using the copper-catalyzed coupling reaction between (E)-1-chloro-2-butene and 10-tetrahydropyranyloxy-1-decenylmagnesium bromide, followed by acetylation and Z-stereoselective reduction of the derived 1,4-enyne.All syntheses have been conducted on a scale to yield less than 50 mmol of the pure sex pheromone components, but seem adaptable for much larger quantities.
