Females of the lichen moth, Miltochrista calamina (Arctiidae, Lithosiinae), were previously shown to produce 5-methylheptadecan-7-ol (1) as a sex pheromone. In field tests, males were attracted only by the (5R,7R)-isomer of the four stereoisomers that were prepared by separation from two mixtures of diastereoisomers. A new route to (5R,7R)-1 starting from (S)-propylene oxide was developed utilizing the SN2 reaction of an optically active secondary tosylate and the Jacobsen hydrolytic kinetic… CONTINUE READING
