Abstract
(2E,4E,6R,10S)-4,6,10-Trimethyl-2,4-dodecadien-7-one (1) – the major component of the sex pheromone of the maritime pine scale – and its three stereoisomers were synthesized by starting from (R)- or (S)-citronellol (4) and employing the asymmetric epoxidation (9 10) and the palladium-catalyzed reductive cleavage of the epoxy ring (13 14) as the key steps.
