A method of attracting the Mediterranean fruit fly by subjecting the Mediterranean fruit fly to an attractant, wherein the attractant is ethyl (1R,2R,5R)-5-iodo-2-methylcyclohexane-1-carboxylate in an enantomeric excess of at least 70% and a regio- and diastereochemical purity of >5:1. The compound ethyl (1R,2R,5R)-5-iodo-2-methylcyclohexane-1-carboxylate, in an enantomeric excess of at least 70% and a regio- and diastereochemical purity of >5:1, may be stereoselectively synthesized on a multigram scale in 15% yield by reacting ethyl (1R,2R,5S)-5-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-carboxylate with Ph3P-imidazole-I2 (or Ph3P-2,6-lutidine-I2) in a carbon tetrachloride/methlylene chloride mixture. The 1R,2R,5R enantiomer is significantly more attractive than its enantiomeric counterpart (1S,2S,5S), or either of the commercial products trimedlure or ceralure, each a mixture of 16 regio and stereoisomers.
通过将地中海果蝇暴露于一种引诱剂中来吸引地中海果蝇的方法,其中引诱剂是乙基(1R,2R,5R)-5-碘-2-甲基环己烷-1-羧酸乙酯,其对映体过量至少为70%,区域和立体化学纯度大于5:1。乙基(1R,2R,5R)-5-碘-2-甲基环己烷-1-羧酸乙酯化合物,在对映体过量至少为70%和区域和立体化学纯度大于5:1的情况下,可通过将乙基(1R,2R,5S)-5-羟基-2-甲基-1-羧酸乙酯与Ph3P-咪唑-碘(或Ph3P-2,6-吖啶-碘)在四氯化碳/甲基氯仿混合物中反应,在15%的产率下立体选择性地合成多克级规模的1R,2R,5R对映体。1R,2R,5R对映体比其对映体对应物(1S,2S,5S)或商业产品trimedlure或ceralure更具吸引力,trimedlure或ceralure是16个区域和立体异构体的混合物。
