从月桂烯合成梨圆蚧性信息素

梨圆蚧是对果林危害较大的害虫。该虫的性信息素包括三个组分:3-亚甲基-7-甲基-7-辛烯-1-醇丙酸酯(1)、(2Z)-3,7-二甲基-2,7-辛二烯-1-醇丙酸酯(2)和(2E)-3,7-二甲基-2,7-辛二烯-1-醇丙酸酯(3)。本文介绍了通过对月桂烯进行结构改造来合成梨圆蚧性信息素,从月桂烯到1,总产率为19%。工业上从月桂烯制龋萑花醇和香叶醇,再将橙花醇和香叶醇转变为相应的氯烯醇后再还原、丙酰化即得2和3,其总产率分别为30%和28%。(以橙花醇和香叶醇计)。月桂烯可从β-蒎烯裂解而得。我国有丰富的蒎烯资源,所以开辟从月桂烯合成梨圆蚧性信息素的新途径具有重要的意义。

Synthesis of San Jose Scale's sex pheromone from myrcene

Reaction of myrcene with magnesium and boron trifluoride followed by treatmentwith alkaline hydrogen peroxide gave compound 4. Chlorination of 4 with calciumhypochlorite yielded 5, which was converted to 1 via reduction and esterification. Nerol andgeraniol prepared from myrcene were converted to 2 and 3 by the same procedure.
