Synthesis of (−)-(5R,6S)-6-acetoxyhexadecan-5-olide by l-proline-catalyzed asymmetric aldol reactions
摘要:
The natural mosquito attractant pheromone, (-)-(5R,6S)-6-acetoxyhexadecan-5-olide 1, was synthesized from readily available aldehyde 3 and cyclopentanone 4 using L-proline catalyzed asymmetric aldol reactions as the key step. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
