[GRAPHICS]A new, convergent synthesis of (E,Z)-2,13 octadecadienyl acetate (1) and (E,Z) 3,13 octadecadienyl acetate (2), the two key components of the leopard moth Zeuzera pyrina, from 2 chloromethyltetrahydrofuran in good overall yields and stereomeric purity is reported. The synthesis of both components utilizes the common intermediate sulfone 12 as a convenient building block to be coupled with iodoacetylenic derivatives 9 or 17 in the key step.
