Abstract

Abstract 3, 7-Dimethyl-2-undecanol, 3, 7, 9-trimethyl-2-tridecanol, and 3, 7, 11-trimethyl-2- tridecanol were synthesized as racemic mixtures in moderate yields. The alcohols are known precursors of the female sex pheromones of the pine sawfly species Diprion nipponica, Macrodiprion nemoralis, and Microdiprion pallipes, respectively. Stereoisomeric mixtures of 3, 8, 12-trimethyl-2-tridecanol, erythro-(2 R, 3 R, 11 R/S)-3, 11-dimethyl-2- ...
