The synthesis of a Miltochrista calamine sex pheromone and its diastereomer has been developed. The key steps of the synthetic approach involved Evans' chiral auxiliaries and the addition of alkyne to aldehyde, which were firstly applied to prepare this sex pheromone and its diastereomer. The synthetic sex pheromone could be used to trap insects and study physiological and ecological questions of the lichen moth.

The chemoselective hydrogenation of alkenes in the presence of alkynes is a very challenging transformation to achieve with traditional chemical methods. The development of an effective procedure to perform this transformation would enrich the tool-kit available to organic chemists for the development of useful synthetic routes, and the creation of novel structural motifs. The reduction of activated alkene bonds by ene-reductases (ERs) is completely chemoselective, because of the mechanism of the reaction. Thus, we investigated the use of ERs belonging to the Old Yellow Enzyme family for the reduction of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes with a conjugated C≡C triple bond at the γ position. This reaction was exploited as the key step for the development of an effective homologation route to convert aryl and alkyl substituted propynals and butynones into 4-alkynals and 4-alkynols, avoiding some troublesome or hazardous steps of known synthetic routes.

β-Substituted aldehydes constitute a very important class of compounds found in nature. Synthesis of this motif can be envisioned by C-C bond formation on enals. For this purpose, we report herein the development of enantioselective copper-catalyzed conjugate addition of various organometallic reagents to α,β-unsaturated aldehydes with (R)-H8BINAP, (R)-TolBINAP, and (R)-SEGPHOS as chiral ligands. Three sets of conditions were successfully developed and several enals were used. Reactivity and regio- and enantioselectivities were strongly dependent on reaction conditions and substrates. Good to excellent regio- and enantioselectivities were obtained with zinc reagents R2Zn and aluminum reagents R3Al. However, the asymmetric conjugate addition of Grignard reagents afforded only moderate to good regio- and enantioselectivities.
