Asymmetric synthesis of (R)- and (S)-4-methyloctanoic acids. A new route to chiral fatty acids with remote stereocenters
摘要:
The enantioselective synthesis of both enantiomers of 4-methyloctanoic acid, one major aggregation pheromone component of the rhinoceros beetles of the genus Oryctes and an important aroma compound, is described. The key step of the synthesis is based on a stereospecific alkylation with an alcohol-protected alkyl iodide using a pseudoephedrine derivative as a chiral auxiliary followed by subsequent removal of the auxiliary. Both enantiomers are obtained in excellent yields and enantioselectivities (93-94% ee). The strategy outlined allows preparation of a wide variety of enantiopure methyl-branched saturated and unsaturated tatty acids. (c) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

All of the fourstereoisomers of 3,13-dimethylheptadecane (1), the female-produced sexpheromone of the westernfalsehemlocklooper (Nepytia freemani), were synthesized by starting from the enatiomers of citronellol (2a) and 2-methyl-1-butanol (4a).

The enantiomers of 3-methylpentacosane, 3-methylheptacosane, 3-methylnonacosane, 13-methylheptacosane, and 5-methylheptacosane were synthesized by starting from the enantiomers of 2-methylbutyl bromide or citronellol. These methyl-branched alkanes are the characteristic components of the cuticular hydrocarbons of queen of the ant, Diacamma sp.
