Cuticular hydrocarbons of the tsetse fly, Glossina brevipalpis, contain 3,7,11,15-tetramethylhentriacontane and 4,8,12,16-tetramethyldotriacontane as possible candidates for its contact sex pheromone. These were synthesized as racemic and diastereomeric mixtures starting from racemic citronellol and employing phenylsulfone-mediated chain-elongation as the key reaction.
舌蝇(Glossina brevipalpis)的角质层烃类含有3,7,11,15-四甲基三十烷和4,8,12,16-四甲基三十烷,它们可能是舌蝇的接触性信息素的候选成分。这些物质是从外消旋香茅醇出发,以苯砜介导的链增长反应作为关键反应,合成了外消旋和消旋异构体混合物。
