One-step syntheses of 4-oxo-(E)-2-hexenal and 4-oxo-(E)-2-octenal from commercially available 2-ethyl- and 2-butylfuran are described. A two-step synthesis of the homolog 4-oxo-(E)-2-decenal from furan is also reported. These compounds are common components of true bug defensive secretions, and recently have been identified as pheromone components for several species. The simple syntheses reported here will make these compounds readily available for further research.
本文描述了由市售的2-乙基呋喃和2-丁基呋喃一步合成4-氧代-(E)-2-己烯醛和4-氧代-(E)-2-辛烯醛的方法。还报道了由呋喃两步合成同系物4-氧代-(E)-2-癸烯醛的方法。这些化合物是蝽类防御分泌物的常见成分，最近已被鉴定为几种物种的信息素成分。本文报道的简单合成方法将使这些化合物易于获得，以便进行进一步研究。
