Catalytic asymmetric synthesis of the Colorado potato beetle pheromone and its enantiomer
摘要:
An efficient catalytic asymmetric synthesis of the CPB pheromone [(S)-1,3-dihydroxy-3,7-dimethy1-6-octen-2-one] and its enantiomer was accomplished with 99% ee and in gram quantities from geraniol. The key steps in this procedure involve Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation and recrystallization of the 4-bromobenzoate from the CPB pheromone to improve its enantiomeric purity. Furthermore, the absolute configuration of the CPB pheromone enantiomer was confirmed as (R) for the first time by the X-ray crystallographic structure of its benzoate. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
