The enantiomers of 21-methyl-7-hentriacontanone (1), which might show weak bioactivity as the female sex pheromone of the screwworm fly (Cochliomyia hominivorax), were synthesized by starting from the enantiomers of citronellal. (+/-)-Citronellol was converted to a racemic and diastereomeric mixture of 5-acetoxy-19-methylnonacosane (2), which was considered to be a candidate for the female sex pheromone of C. hominivorax. Synthetic 2 exhibited no pheromone activity against male C. hominivorax.
21-甲基-7-三十一烷酮(1)的对映体可能作为螺旋锥蝇(嗜人瘤蝇)的雌性性信息素表现出微弱的生物活性,它是从香茅醛的对映体开始合成的。(±)-香茅醇被转化为5-乙酰氧基-19-甲基二十九烷(2)的外消旋和非对映体混合物,该混合物被认为是嗜人瘤蝇雌性性信息素的候选物。合成的2对雄性嗜人瘤蝇没有信息素活性。
