Abstract
Abstract 2-Dodecanoyl-3,5-dihydroxy-2-cyclohexen-1-one, identified from the setal exudate of immature andromeda lace bug nymphs, Stephanitis takeyai , was synthesized. Key steps involved construction of the cyclohexanedione ring containing a phenyldimethylsilyl substituent as a masked hydroxyl group, protection of the 1,3-dicarbonyl system as an isoxazole, oxidative desilylation, and reductive disassembly of the isoxazole.
