Pheromone chirality of african palm weevil,Rhynchophorus phoenicis (F.) and palmetto weevil,Rhynchophorus cruentatus (F.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
摘要:
There are four stereoisomers of both 3-methyl-octan-4-ol, the aggregation pheromone of the African palm weevil, Rhynchophorus phoenicis (F.) and 5-methyl-octan-4-ol, the aggregation pheromone of the palmetto weevil, Rhynchophorus cruentatus (F.). Synthetic stereoisomers of 3-methyl-octan-4-ol and 5-methyl-octan-4-ol were baseline-separated on a Cyclodex-B fused silica column. Use of this column in gas chromatographic-electroantennographic detection (GC-EAD) and GC-mass spectrometric (GC-MS) analyses revealed that only one stereoisomer, (3S,4S)-3-methyl-octan-4-ol and (4S,5S)-5-methyl-octan-4-ol, is produced by male R. phoenicis and male R. cruentatus, respectively, and elicits good antennal responses by conspecific male and female weevils. In field trapping experiments, with R. phoenicis in Cote d'Ivoire and R. cruentatus in Florida, (3S,4S)-3-methyl-octan-4-ol and (4S,SS)-5-methyl-octan-4-ol strongly enhanced attraction of fresh palm tissue, whereas other stereoisomers were behaviorally benign. Stereoisomeric 3-methyl-octan-4-ol and 5-methyl-octan-4-ol may be utilized to monitor and/or manage populations of these two palm weevils.
The C2 Selective Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions of 2,3-Epoxy Alcohols Mediated by Trialkyl Borates: The First <i>endo</i>-Mode Epoxide-Opening Reaction through an Intramolecular Metal Chelate
[reaction: see text] Highly efficient C2 selective substitution reactions of 2,3-epoxy alcohols with nucleophiles were developed by using NaN(3)-(CH(3)O)(3)B, NaSPh-(CH(3)O)(3)B, or NaCN-(C(2)H(5)O)(3)B system. The reaction proceeds through novel endo-mode epoxide opening of an intramolecular boron chelate, which was suggested from both experimental and quantum mechanic studies.

determining the absolute configurations of acyclic β- or γ-methyl substituted secondary alcohols using their 2NMA esters. The 1H-NMR spectra of (R)- and (S)-2NMA esters of model compounds were measured, and Δδ values (δR-ester - δS-ester) for the corresponding protons were compared between syn and anti compounds. Threshold values important for judging the relative stereochemistry of the two chiral centers

stereoselective totalsynthesis of structure 1 assigned to the macrolide natural product neaumycin B is reported in a 2.3% overall yield on 90 mg scale. The synthesis features a gram-scale nickel-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling/spiroketalization tactic to construct the spiroketal core of neaumycin B. The stereostructures of the C3–C6, C8–C14, and C20–C41 segments of synthetic neaumycin B were unambiguously
