Abstract

Muscalure [(Z)-9-tricosene, 31, a sex attractant of the housefly (Musca domestica L.), has been prepared in a number of different ways, such as the transformations of acetylene,'oleic acid? and olefin disproportionation. 3 Most of the chemical syntheses involve multistep processes! We now describe a simple, convenient, and more efficient synthesis of muscalure proceeding via a cupratecatalyzed Grignard coupling reaction as the key step. ...
