Both the (17R)- and (17S)-isomers of volicitin, which is contained in the oral secretion of the beet armyworm and induces corn seedlings to emit a blend of volatile compounds to attract the natural enemy of the herbivore, were synthesized via the semi-hydrogenation of an intermediary diyne and (Z)-selective olefination as the key steps. They were both obtained as crystalline compounds.
甜菜夜蛾口腔分泌物中含有伏立替汀,它能诱导玉米幼苗释放出一种混合挥发性化合物以吸引食草动物的天敌。通过中间体二炔的半氢化和(Z)选择性烯化作为关键步骤,合成了伏立替汀的(17R)-和(17S)-异构体。它们都是晶体化合物。
