A novel synthesis of the aggregation pheromone of the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata, has been developed based on a Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation in combination with a chemoselective alcohol oxidation using catalytic [(neocuproine)PdOAc]2OTf2. Employing this approach, the pheromone was synthesized in 3 steps, 80% yield and 86% ee from geraniol.
基于Sharpless不对称环氧化和
化学选择性醇氧化的组合,利用催化[(neocuproine)PdOAc]
2OTf
2,开发了一种新的合成科
罗拉多马铃薯甲虫聚集信息素的方法。采用这种方法,从
香叶醇出发,经过3个步骤,得到甲虫聚集信息素,产率为80%,ee为86%。
