THE USE OF METHYL SUBSTITUTED CHIRAL SYNTHONS IN THE SYNTHESIS OF PINE SAWFLIES PHEROMONES

The preparation of methyl-substituted synthons of high enantiomerical purities by Claisen transposition, cuprate substitution of secondary optically active alcohols and microbial reduction of β-ketoesters was investigated and applied to the synthesis of (2S,3S,7S) and (2S,3R,7R)-3,7-dimethylpentadecan-2-ol, the pheromones of diprionid species of pine sawflies.
