A novel synthesis of the aggregation pheromone of the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata, has been developed based on a Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation in combination with a chemoselective alcohol oxidation using catalytic [(neocuproine)PdOAc]2OTf2. Employing this approach, the pheromone was synthesized in 3 steps, 80% yield and 86% ee from geraniol.
一种新型的聚集信息素合成方法,用于开发科罗拉多马铃薯甲虫(Leptinotarsa decemlineata),该方法基于 Sharpless 不对称环氧化反应与使用催化 [(neocuproine)PdOAc]2OTf2 的化学选择性醇氧化反应相结合。采用这种方法,从香叶醇出发,经过 3 步反应,以 80%的产率和 86%的对映选择性合成了信息素,总收率为 80%。
