Abstract

Abstract Concise and efficient syntheses of (7Z, 11Z, 13E)-hexadecatrienal, a sex- pheromone component of the citrus leaf miner, and (8E, 10Z)-tetradecadienal, the sex pheromone of the horse-chestnut leaf miner were described, starting from the commercially available acetylene and acrolein. The stereoselective formation of E, Z-conjugated double bond relied on cross-coupling between Grignard reagent and (E, Z)-bromodiene. The ...
