Abstract: | Stereospecific Synthesis of (+)-(3R, 4R)-4-Methyl-3-heptanol, the Enantiomer of a Pheromone of the Smaller European Elm Bark Beetle (Scolytus multistriatus) Reduction of 2 with actively fermenting baker's yeast gave (?) -3. Stereospecific alkylation 3] of (?) -3 with propyl iodide furnished ethyl (+)-(2R, 3R)-2-propyl-3-hydroxypentanoate ((+) -4 , 58%) which was converted to the tetrahydropyranyl ether (?) -5 , then the alcohol 6 , the p-toluenesulfonate 7 and the thiophenyl ether 8 to give the title compound (+) -1. The latter consisted of 97% of the threo- and 3% of the erythro-isomer. The above synthesis also correlates the absolute configuration of (?)-(R) -3 with that of (+)-(R)-citronellic acid (see 2]). |
