All of the four stereoisomers of (1′S)-1′-ethyl-2′-methylpropyl 3,13-dimethylpentadecanoate, the major component of the female sex pheromone of Clania variegata, were synthesized by employing olefin cross metathesis as the key reaction and starting from (R)- or (S)-2-methyl-1-butanol, (R)- or (S)-citronellal, and (S)-2-methyl-3-pentanol. Their bioassay revealed the (3R,13R,1′S)-isomer as the bioactive
3,13-二甲基十五烷酸(1 'S)-1'-乙基-2'-甲基丙基3,13-二甲基十五烷酸酯的四种立体异构体均以烯烃交叉复分解为关键反应合成(R)-或(S)-2-甲基-1-丁醇,(R)-或(S)-香茅醛和(S)-2-甲基-3-戊醇。他们的生物测定揭示了(3 R,13 R,1 'S)-异构体是具有生物活性的异构体,通过采用Wittig反应作为关键步骤,可以通过两种不同的方式实现更有效的合成。
