(R)-Trogodermal (14-methyl-8-hexadecenal), the sex pheromone of Trogoderma species of pest insects against stored products, and its (S)-isomer were synthesized by using olefin cross-metathesis between (R)- or (S)-7-methyl-1-nonene and 8-nonenyl acetate as the key step. This step was successful with Grubbs I but not with Grubbs II catalyst. The latter caused randomization of the carbon skeleton to give

壬烯酯是关键步骤。该步骤对于Grubbs I是成功的,但是对于Grubbs II催化剂却不是成功的。后者导致碳骨架的随机化,从而产生异常产物的混合物,该异常产物具有比所需产物更长或更短的碳链。测量了18种新的和6种先前合成的具有仲仲丁基端基的化合物的比旋光度,得出的结论是[α] D +3.5至+6.5或-3.6至-6.4
