Synthesis of (6 R,12 R )-6,12-Dimethylpentadecan-2-one,the Female-Produced Sex Pheromone from Banded Cucumber Beetle Diabrotica balteata,Based on a Chiron Approach
Herein we describe a synthesis of (6R,12R)-6,12-dimethylpentadecan-2-one (5), the female produced sex pheromone of banded cucumber beetle Diabrotica balteata Le Conte, from (R)-4-methyl-δ-valerolactone, a methyl-branched chiron.
