- Pheromone synthesis. Part 256: Synthesis of the four stereoisomers of 5,11-dimethylpentacosane, a new sex pheromone component of the male Galleria mellonella (L.), with high stereochemical purities as determined by the derivatization-HPLC analysis of the eight stereoisomers of 5,11-dimethyl-8-pentacosanol
-
Abstract All the four stereoisomers of 5,11-dimethylpentacosane (>96.8% purity) were synthesized via the stereoisomers of 5,11-dimethyl-8-pentacosanol, whose stereoisomeric compositions could be determined precisely by their low temperature HPLC analysis after derivatization. 5,11-Dimethyl-8-pentacosanol was prepared by a Grignard reaction between 3-methylheptylmagnesium bromide and 4-methyloctadecanal, both of which were prepared from the commercially available enantiomers of citronellal (97-98% ee). Alternatively, (R)-3-methyl-1-heptanol could be prepared from methyl (R)-3-hydroxybutanoate (100% ee). Pd/C-catalyzed hydrogenation of a 5-methyl-1-alkene caused partial racemaization at C-5.

- Synthesis of all the stereoisomers of 6-methyl-2-octadecanone, 14-methyl-2-octadecanone, and 6,14-dimethyl-2-octadecanone, sex pheromone components of the Lyclene dharma dharma moth, from the enantiomers of citronellal
-
The enantiomers of citronellal were converted to all the stereoisomers of 6-methyl-2-octadecanone, 14-methyl-2-octadecanone, and 6,14-dimethyl-2- octadecanone, the female-produced sex pheromone components of the Lyclene dharma dharma moth. Three wellestablished procedures, the Wittig reaction, alkylation of alkynes, and acetoacetic ester synthesis, were employed for the carbon-carbon bond formation to connect the building blocks.

- Synthetic studies toward potent cytotoxic agent amphidinolide B: Synthesis of the C8-C18 fragment
-
A practical synthesis of the C8-C18 fragment 1 of amphidinolide B is described in which the Stille coupling method was employed to construct the trisubstituted C28=C13-C14=C15 's-cis-1,3-diene' moiety from suitably functionalized vinyl iodide (4) and vinyl stannane (5) fragments, the former being prepared from an acetylene precursor using Negishi's carboalumination/iodination method.

- A practical synthesis of 3(S)-methyl-heptanoic acid from (S)-citronellol
-
Chiral 3-methyl-heptanoic acid is readily accessible by functional group manipulation of optically active citronellol. In principle, this approach is general and could be applied to the synthesis of chiral 3-methyl-alkanoic acids seven carbon atoms in length and longer.
