西印度蔗螟聚集信息素次要组份合成方法的改进

2-甲基-4-庚醇和2-甲基-4-辛醇是西印度蔗螟(Metamasiushemipterus)聚集信息素的次要组份，本文以天然产物(S)-亮氨酸为原料合成出了2-甲基-4-庚醇及2-甲基-4-辛醇的所有对映异构体，其关键步骤是由(2S)-4-甲基-1,2-戊二醇合成出(2S)和(2R)-4-甲基-1,2-环氧戊烷两种重要中间体，目标产物光学纯度可达95%以上。

Improvements on the synthesis of the minor components of the aggregation pheromone of the west indian sugarcane borer

Both enantiomers of 2 methyl 4 heptanol and 2 methyl 4 octanol, the minor components of the aggregation pheromone produced by the male and female West Indian sugarcane borer ( Metamasius hemipterus ), have been synthesized starting from natural product (S) leucine. The key step is preparation of (2R) and (2S) 4 methyl 1,2 oxidopentane from (2S) 4 methyl pentane 1,2 diol. The optical purity of the target products is over 95%.
