Abstract
The pure four stereoisomers of 3,ll-dimethyl-2-nonacosanone (1), the female-produced sex pheromone of the German cockroach, were synthesized starting from ( R )-citronellol ( 2 a) and ethyl ( R )-3-hydroxybutanoate ( 3 ). The key step was the chromatographic separation of (5RS,6R)-6-hydroxy-5-methyl-2-heptanone ( 16 a) to give pure ( 5R,6R - and) 5S,6R -isomers. All of the four stereoisomers of 1 were bioactive.
