- Preparation of stereochemically pure E- and Z-alkenoic acids and their methyl esters from bicyclo[n.1.0]alkan-1-ols. Application in the synthesis of insect pheromones
-
Oxidative cleavage of exo- and endo-alkyl- and hydroxyalkyl-substituted bicyclo[n.1.0]alkan-1-ols with (diacetoxy-λ3-iodanyl)benzene gave the corresponding methyl alkenoates exclusively with E or Z configuration of the double bond. This reaction was used as the key stage in the syntheses of stereoisomerically pure components of pest insect pheromones: (E)-dodec-9-en-1-yl acetate (European pine shoot moth Rhyacionia buoliana), (Z)-tetradec-11-en-1-yl acetate (European oak leafroller Tortrix viridana), and (3E,8Z,11Z)-tetradeca-3,8,11-trien-1-yl acetate (tomato leafminer Tuta absoluta).

- Concise syntheses of insect pheromones using Z-Selective cross metathesis
-
Very short synthetic routes to nine cisolefin-containing pheromones containing a variety of functionality, including an unconjugated (E,Z) diene, are reported (see scheme). These lepidopteran pheromones are used extensively for pest control, and were easily prepared using ruthenium-based Z-selective cross metathesis, highlighting the advantages of this method over less efficient ways to form Z olefins.

- Exo- and endohormones. XXIV. 1 a convenient synthesis of (Z)-11-tetradecen-1-YL acetate, component of lepidoptera insect sex pheromone
-
A new and practical synthesis of (Z)-11-tetradecene-1-yl acetate was developed using commercially raw material. The synthesis was based on a C 10+C2=C12 and C12+C 2=C14 coupling scheme, starting from 1,10-decane-diol. The route involves, as the key step, the use of the mercury derivative of the terminal alkyne ω-functionalised as intermediate, which is lithiated and then alkylated. The first coupling reaction took place between monosodium acetylene obtained in situ and 1-tert-butoxy-10-bromo-decane. The second coupling reaction consisted in directly lithiated of di (t-butoxy-dodec-11-yne) mercury and then alkylated with ethyl bromide obtaining 1-tert-butoxy-tetradec- 11-yne. After acetylation and stereoselective reduction in the presence of NiP-2 catalyst of 1-tertbutoxy- tetradec-11-yne gave (Z)-11-tetradecene-1-yl acetate with 99% isomeric purity.

- Metathesis syntheses of pheromones or their components
-
The present invention relates to metathesis syntheses for insect sex-attractant pheromones or their components, such as E-5-decenyl acetate, the major component of the Peach Twig Borer pheromone; (5R,6S)-6-acetoxy-5-hexadecanolide, the mosquito oviposition attractant pheromone; E9,Z11-hexadecadienal, the pecan nut casebearer moth pheromone; 9-tetradecenyl formate, an analog of the Diamondback Moth (DBM) pheromone; 11-tetradecenyl acetate, the Omnivorous Leafroller (OLR) pheromone; E-4-tridecenyl acetate, the major component of the Tomato Pinworm (TPW) pheromone; E,E-8,10-dodecadienol, the Codling Moth (CM) pheromone. The syntheses preferably employ a Class I-IV metathesis catalyst, entail few reaction steps, use generally commercially available starting materials, and have relatively short process times. These syntheses produce good yields without the need for expensive or sophisticated equipment. The invention also provides an inexpensive route for producing omega-haloalkenols by cross-metathesizing alpha-omega-diacetoxy alkenes and alpha-omega-dihalides to yield omega-haloalkenols, which are easily converted into omega-haloalkanols under traditional hydrogenation methods.

- Applications of olefin cross metathesis to commercial products
-
In this paper, we will demonstrate the value of olefin cross metathesis as an effective synthetic tool for applications in the agrochemical and pharmaceutical industries. First, we will demonstrate the usefulness of cross metathesis reactions in the efficient synthesis of the major component of the Peach Twig Borer pheromone and the of Omnivorous Leafroller pheromone, insect pheromones are environmentally friendly pest-controlling agents. Second, we will demonstrate highly efficient cross metathesis routes into novel α,β-unsaturated carbonyl intermediates. These novel α,β-unsaturated carbonyl intermediates can be further functionalized into pharmaceutical compounds that are difficult to prepare by the traditional synthetic methodologies. This paper highlights key catalyst-substrate reactivity variations with different ruthenium olefin metathesis catalysts, highlights cross metathesis reactions and techniques and highlights an efficient ruthenium catalyst removal technique.

- Behavioral responses of Spodoptera littoralis males to sex pheromone components and virgin females in wind tunnel
-
The major component of the sex pheromone of female Spodoptera littoralis, (Z,E)-9,11-tetradecadienyl acetate (1), elicited all steps of the male behavioral sequence, i.e., wing fanning and taking flight, oriented upwind flight and arrival to the middle of the tunnel, close approach and contact with the source. The activity was equivalent to that elicited by virgin females. In the range of doses tested, the dosage of 1 had no significant effect on the number of source contacts. Male response was significantly affected by light intensity, being optimum at 3 lux. Activity of the minor components (Z)-9-tetradecenyl acetate (2), (E)-11-tetradecenyl acetate (3), tetradecyl acetate (4), (Z)-11-tetradecenyl acetate (5), and (Z,E)-9,12-tetradecadienyl acetate (6) was significantly lower than that of the major component when assayed individually. In multicomponent blends compound 4 appeared to strongly decrease the number of males arrested at the source, the effect being particularly important when compound 5 was present in the blend. Results of single sensillum experiments confirmed the existence of two main physiologically distinct sensillar types. The most common type of sensilla contained a neuron that responded specifically to compound 1. A second type of sensilla, located laterally on the ventral sensory surface, contained two receptor neurons responding to compound 6 and to (Z)-9-tetradecenol. Among short sensilla, one hair responded to compound 4 and could represent a minor sensillar type. No sensory neuron was found to detect the other minor pheromone compounds 2, 3, and 5,.

-
Various (E)-pheromones of the general structure (E)-X-alken-1-yl acetates, (E)-X-alken-1-ols, and (E)-X-alken-1-als have been prepared via thexylchloroborane-dimethyl sulfide (ThxBHCl*SMe2).Hydroboration of acetate-functionalized alkenes with ThxBHCl*SMe2 gives cleanly the corresponding thexylalkylchloroboranes (ThxBRCl, B).Hydridation of B with potassium triisopropoxyhydride (KIPBH) at -78 deg C gives cleanly the corresponding thexylalkylboranes (ThxBRH, C).These are quenched immediately with 1-halo-1-alkynes to give B-(cis-1-halo-1-alkenyl)thexylalkylboranes (D).Treatment of D with sodium methoxide results in the displacement of bromine by the alkyl group on boron to produce B-(trans-1-alkyl-1-alkenyl)thexylborinates (E).Protonolysis of E with acetic acid provides (E)-X-alken-1-yl acetates in high yields and in >99percent isomeric purities.Treatment of (E)-X-alken-1-yl acetates with base affords the corresponding (E)-X-alken-1-ols.Oxidation of (E)-X-alken-1-ols with dimethyl sulfoxide activated by oxalyl chloride or the complex of dimethyl sulfide and chlorine produces (E)-X-alken-1-als quantitatively.By properly choosing the starting functionalized alkenes and 1-halo-1-alkynes, various (E)-pheromones can be prepared easily.The present procedure appears to be general.There does not appear to be any limitation on the length of the carbon chain or the position of the double bond in the target molecules.

-
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.

A new route to the synthesis of a number of attractants of Lepidoptera (Argyrotaenia velutinana, Mamestra configurata, and Lycorea ceres ceres) have been developed.These substances are acetates of enols with the cis configuration: tetradec-11-en-1-ol, hexadec-11-en-1-ol, and octadec-11-en-1-ol, respectively.The constants of the substances obtained agree completely with those given in the literature.The method is based on the coupling of the C3, C5, and C7 aldehydes with methyl 11-bromoundecanoate (I) by the Wittig reaction.To obtain compound (I) from methyl undeca-2E,5E,10-trienoate or methyl undeca-10-enoate we used hydroboration according to Brown followed by hydrogenation and bromination of the alcohol obtained.The advantage of this method is the use as starting materials of esters of unsaturated acids readily obtained by the homogeneous catalytic co-oligomerization of 1,3-dienes with acrylates.
