Abstract
The synthesis of the acetate of 2,6-dimethylhepta-1,5-dien-3-ol — the sex pheromone of the Comstock bug — has been carried out by condensing isobutenyllithium with 3,4-epoxy-2-methylbut-1-ene and acetylating the 2,6-dimethylhepta-1,5-dien-3-ol formed. The overall yield of pheromone was 46%.
