(1S,3S,7R)-3-Methyl-α-himachalene, the sexpheromone of the male sandfly (Lutzomyia longipalpis) fromJacobina, Brazil, was synthesized enantioselectively by employing Evans’ or Oppolzer’s asymmetric methylation as the key step. The absolute configuration at the ring junction of this pheromone is opposite to that of the known (1R,7R)-α-himachalene of plant origin.
