Wallmeyer. It sometimes happens that the same compound is produced by different organisms in different parts of the world. [Pg.122]

4 Clarification of the relationship between absolute configuration and pheromone activity—ex o -brevicomin [Pg.122]

D-(-)-Tartaric acid, the unnatural enantiomer, was converted to the known ditosylate A. Two-carbon elongation of A with sodium cyanide was problematic. When the required amount (2 moles) of sodium cyanide was added in one portion to a DMSO solution of A, crystalline (2 ,4 )-2,4-hexadienedinitrile [Pg.122]

The bioassay of (l/ ,55,7R)-(+)-exo-brevicomin (76) and its (-)-enantiomer 16 ) was carried out by Professor David L. Wood and coworkers at the University of California, Berkeley. When I visited his laboratory in June 1974, I was deeply impressed by the fact that only (+)-76 was pheromonally active to attract the beetles. A large-scale field test also indicated that (+)-76 was the bioactive isomer, while (—)-76 was neither active nor inhibitory.32 Thus, only a single enantiomer of the pheromone was found to [Pg.123]

The cage-like intramolecular acetal structures of 77 and 78 attracted my attention, and we synthesized both ( )-77 and ( )-78, the former of which showed the spectral data identical to those of the natural lineatin.33,34 Photocycloaddition of vinyl acetate to 3-methyl-2-cyclopentenone (A) gave B, from which were prepared two isomeric ketones C and D. These were separable by chromatography, and their structures could be determined by -NMR analysis. The ketone ( )-C was further converted to ( )-77, while ( )-D [Pg.124]


A simple example of the examination of a proposed structure through synthesis is provided in this section. In 2005, Takita12 proposed the structure of the male-produced aggregation pheromone of the stink bug Eysarcoris lewisi as the sesquisabinene alcohol, ( )-2-methyl-6-(4 -methylenebicyclo[3.1.0]hexyl)hept-2-en-l-ol (8) (Scheme 1). Mori13 synthesized (61 )-8 and (6S)-8 from the enantiomers of citronellal (10). The key steps were the intramolecular addition of an ct-keto carbene to the alkene bond (11—>12) and ( )-selective olefination of 13 to give 14. The 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra of 8 around the trisubstituted double bond at C-2 were different from those of the natural pheromone. [Pg.148]
