The stereoselective route to the title insect hormones (JH-1 & JH-2) depends crucially on the epoxidation of allylic alcohols with t-butyl hydroperoxide in the presence of oxobis(2,4-pentanedionato-O,O′)vanadium(IV). The oxidation of 2-methyl-1-hepten-3-ol exclusively produces the (2R*,3S*) isomerofthe diastereomeric epoxy alcohols. This is converted into (Z)-6-methyl-5-undecene by the sequence involving oxirane reaction with lithium dibutylcuprate(I) and the removal of both hydroxyl groups of the resulting 1,2-diol. Extension of the series of reactions to the mono- and bisoxirane derived from (E,E)-farnesol gives JH-2 and JH-1, respectively.
获得上述昆虫激素(JH-1 和 JH-2)的立体选择性途径主要取决于烯丙基醇在氧代双(2,4-戊二酮酸-O,O′)钒(IV)存在下与叔丁基过氧化氢发生的环氧化反应。2- 甲基-1-庚烯-3-醇的氧化反应只产生非对映异构环氧醇的 (2R*,3S*)异构体。通过与二丁基杯酸锂(I)发生环氧乙烷反应,并去除所生成的 1,2-二醇的两个羟基,从而将其转化为 (Z)-6-甲基-5-十一烯。将这一系列反应扩展到从(E,E)-法呢醇得到的单环氧乙烷和双环氧乙烷,可分别得到 JH-2 和 JH-1。
