A method of attracting the Mediterranean fruit fly by subjecting the Mediterranean fruit fly to an attractant, wherein the attractant is ethyl (1R,2R,5R)-5-iodo-2-methylcyclohexane-1-carboxylate in an enantomeric excess of at least 70% and a regio- and diastereochemical purity of >5:1. The compound ethyl (1R,2R,5R)-5-iodo-2-methylcyclohexane-1-carboxylate, in an enantomeric excess of at least 70% and a regio- and diastereochemical purity of >5:1, may be stereoselectively synthesized on a multigram scale in 15% yield by reacting ethyl (1R,2R,5S)-5-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-carboxylate with Ph3P-imidazole-I2 (or Ph3P-2,6-lutidine-I2) in a carbon tetrachloride/methlylene chloride mixture. The 1R,2R,5R enantiomer is significantly more attractive than its enantiomeric counterpart (1S,2S,5S), or either of the commercial products trimedlure or ceralure, each a mixture of 16 regio and stereoisomers.
一种通过将地中海果蝇置于诱 attract 剂下来吸引地中海果蝇的方法,其中诱 attract 剂是具有至少70%的对映异构体过量和>5:1的区域和立体化学纯度的乙酸乙酯基(1R,2R,5R)-5-碘-2-甲基环己烷-1-羧酸酯。该化合物可以在碳四氯/甲基氯混合物中通过将乙酸乙酯基(1R,2R,5S)-5-羟基-2-甲基-1-羧酸酯与Ph3P-咪唑-I2(或Ph3P-2,6-茚三醇-I2)反应,在至少70%的对映异构体过量和>5:1的区域和立体化学纯度下,以15%的产率进行立体选择性合成。1R、2R、5R对映异构体比其对映异构体(1S、2S、5S)或混合了16个区域和立体异构体的商业产品trimedlure或ceralure显着更具吸引力。
