experimental part, p. 407 - 409 (2012/08/13)
(R)-10-Methyl-2-tridecanone, the female sex pheromone of the southern corn rootworm (Diabrotica undecimpunctata howardi Barber), was synthesized in 9 steps from methyl (S)-3-hydroxy-2-methylpropanoate in a 15.7% overall yield. Olefin cross metathesis between (R)-6-methyl-1-nonene and 5-hexen-2-one employing Grubbs' first-generation catalyst was the key step of the synthesis.

All of the eight possible stereoisomers of methyl 2,6,10-trimethyltridecanoate (1), the male-produced attractant pheromone of the South American soybean pest, Euschistus heros, and that of E. obscurus, are synthesized by starting from the enantiomers of citronellol (2) and methyl 3-hydroxy-2-methylpropanoate (9). - Key Words: Euschistus heros / Euschistus obscurus / Pheromones / Stink bugs / Sulfones, alkylation of / Tridecanoate, methyl 2,6,10-trimethyl-
