Periplaneta americana

Based on the successful series of transformations summarized in Scheme 1, Schreiber and Santini developed an efficient and elegant synthesis of periplanone B (1),8 the potent sex pheromone of the American cockroach, Periplaneta americana. This work constitutes the second total synthesis of periplanone B, and it was reported approximately five years after the landmark periplanone B synthesis by W.C. Still9 (see Chapter 13). As in the first synthesis by Still, Schreiber s approach to periplanone B takes full advantage of the facility with which functionalized 5-cyclodecen-l-one systems can be constructed via anionic oxy-Cope rearrangements of readily available divinylcyclohexanols.5 7 In addition, both syntheses of periplanone B masterfully use the conformational preferences of cyclo-decanoid frameworks to control the stereo- and regiochemical course of reactions carried out on the periphery of such ring systems.10...

The mode of action of the isobutylamides is unknown, although Miyakado et al. found that several isobutylamides (i.e. pipercide and related compounds) caused repetitive discharge when the nerve cord of the cockroach, Periplaneta americana was stimulated. We found that fagaramide was inactive as an acetylcholine esterase inhibitor in an m vitro assay(unpublished dat a).
