Abstract
Abstract The convergent synthesis in high enantiomeric and diastereoisomeric purity of [ 3 H 2 ]-(11 S ,17 R )-11,17-dimethylhentriacontane, a communication pheromone of ant Camponotus vagus is described. The stereogenic centres were introduced from commercially available ( S )-citronellol and ( R )-citronellal and the tritiation step was conducted in the last step of the synthesis with tritium gas over the Wilkinson catalyst.
