- Abstract
A Mixture of (3 S,6 R)- and (3 R,6 R)-3-methyl-6-(1-methylethenyl)dec-9-enyl acetate ( 1a and 1b, respectively)- 1a being a pheromone of the California red scale - is synthesized in 14 steps from (+)-( R)-limonene ( 4). The key step is the reductive vitamin- B12-catalyzed coupling of ( R)-5-(2-iodoethyl)-6-mehtylhept-6-en-2-one ethylene acetal ( 8) and methyl crotonate ( 3).
