Starting from commercially available (E)-2-dodecenoic acid, posticlure [(6Z,9Z,11S,12S)-11,12-epoxyhenicosa-6,9-diene (1)], the female sex pheromone of the tussock moth (Orgyia postica), was synthesized in 25% overall yield (6 steps) by employing Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation as the key step. Its (11R,12R)-isomer as well as its racemate were also synthesized.
