Description
Summary:The tea tussock moth, <i>Euproctis pseudoconspersa</i> (Strand), is a serious pest, and its sex pheromone is (<i>R</i>)-10,14-dimethylpentadecyl isobutyrate. A new and concise asymmetric synthesis of the sex pheromone and its enantiomer was accomplished. The chiral methyl of the pheromone was introduced by Evans’s template, while the extension of the carbon chain was achieved through Li<sub>2</sub>CuCl<sub>4</sub>-catalyzed coupling of chiral tosylate with Grignard reagent.
