Abstract

A short total asymmetric synthesis of (+)-exo-and ()-endo-brevicomin ((+)-exo-3 and ()-endo- 3), which are components of the attracting pheromone system of several bark-beetle species belonging to the genera Dendroctonus and Dryocoetes, was accomplished via a chemoenzymatic protocol. The key step consisted of biocatalytic hydrolysis by bacterial epoxide hydrolases of cis-configured 2, 3-disubstituted oxiranes bearing olefinic side ...
