Abstract

The sex pheromone of the brownbanded cockroach, Supella longipalpa, can be synthesized by direct coupling of a brominated pyrone with an alkylzinc reagent. The stereochemistry of the natural pheromone has been assigned as (2′ R, 4′ R)-5-(2′, 4′-dimethylheptanyl)- 3-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one by a combination of synthesis, chiral gas chromatography, and electrophysiological measurement.
